June for 2 weeks please? Billy's brother is coming from Canada with 2 small kids and we only have 

one. Thank you. 

13/05/2016, 17:06:11: De Lucy: Sorry Hun no 

13/05/2016, 17:09:23: +44 7977 507079: I have but it's a really light weight travel Phil and Teds 

one not a sturdy one. The kids didn't sleep in it for longer than a few days.. 

13/05/2016, 17:11:40: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Thanks Chloe. May take you up on that if no one has 

anything else. It's for a 9 month old so something more solid would be preferable... 

13/05/2016, 17:12:34: Sarah Burns: I've got a lovely cosy dog bed if you get stuck ;-) 

13/05/2016, 17:13:13: Fitzgerald Ruth: I've got a chest of drawers .

13/05/2016, 17:18:16: Gisele Della Bella: I have a proper cot , if billy is keen on getting the ikea 

assembly skills on is ready to go I can drop it for you on Monday 

13/05/2016, 17:18:39: Gisele Della Bella: It is light & small 

13/05/2016, 17:18:59: Gisele Della Bella: Let me look for a pic one sec 

13/05/2016, 17:19:40: Kate Groves: I gave mine away but I could probably borrow it back if you 

need it, let me know X 


13/05/2016, 17:22:08: Gisele Della Bella: It is very simple small I have taken it out storage to give 

to a friend but she no longer need so I was going to donate to a pregnant woman but she got a few 

months before giving birth; hardly been used as we went off to Brazil then when we got back I put 

Isab 

13/05/2016, 17:22:44: Gisele Della Bella: Put Isabella in a toddler bed so if had a month or so that 

was it 

13/05/2016, 17:23:08: Gisele Della Bella: The mattress is best new too was kept clean under Jack's 

bed 

13/05/2016, 17:24:38: Gisele Della Bella: Kate do you still have the contact details of that chatty 

that work with young pregnant woman ? Thy could have this cot .. 

13/05/2016, 17:25:12: Gisele Della Bella: Off course after Jacquie uses it is she wants it 

13/05/2016, 17:25:23: Gisele Della Bella: Charity I meant 

13/05/2016, 17:27:59: Kate Groves: I'll dig details out and send to you GG, you crazy cat

13/05/2016, 17:52:05: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Thanks Gisele. As you know, our guest room is in the 

garden and if they aren't comfortable putting the kids down in there and want to put them to bed in 

the house until they go out to bed, then I want something that is light and easy to move. Do you think 

we could easily move it from down the corridor each night without having to take it to pieces? 

13/05/2016, 17:58:40: Fitzgerald Ruth: For what it's worth, we had the same cot and moved it in 

and out of bedroom when guests stayed. It went through our door frames . 

13/05/2016, 17:58:48: Gisele Della Bella: Humhum not sure it would be a easy thing to be moving 

around but annoying to move a cot around and as any ikea "quality" 

piece of furniture after moving too much gets wobbly 

Anyway I am sure a travel coy will come out someone's loft if not this one is here xxx 

13/05/2016, 17:59:54: Gisele Della Bella: Really ! I take all back IKEA quality to last forever .... 

13/05/2016, 18:00:19: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Actually, Billy's brother just said they were fine with 

putting the kids to bed outside (not literally) so yes please, that would be great! 

13/05/2016, 18:02:05: Gisele Della Bella: I don't mind if gets scratched as it is going to charity and 

if breaks no problem can be turned into wooden for the fire 

13/05/2016, 18:02:59: Gisele Della Bella: Where is Jo ? She is not here? 

Chlooooeeeee some adm job to be done , can you add Jo in please 

13/05/2016, 18:03:19: Gisele Della Bella: Bet Jo got a travel cot she may even got two

13/05/2016, 18:05:39: Gisele Della Bella: Sorry I think about calling a meeting to put you on 

assessment performance ... Not impressed with your adm skills 

13/05/2016, 18:15:39: Gisele Della Bella: Jacquie you mean you would like the cot? Or whatever was

13/05/2016, 19:03:40: +44 7977 507079: 2016-05-13-PHOTO-00000053.jpg 

13/05/2016, 19:19:46: Sarah Burns: They'll never make a name for themselves on Twitter if they

17/05/2016, 18:55:58: Jacqui Daniels Mum: I am coming straight from work drinks so won't get

17/05/2016, 18:58:57: Kate Groves: Phew, I'm glad normal chat has resumed

( he gets biscuits at Beavers btw ) 

17/05/2016, 19:05:21: Fitzgerald Ruth: Miss Johnson did hers last week. Rids got a 'suggestive' 

biscuit. 

17/05/2016, 19:06:29: Fitzgerald Ruth: The kids prefer suggestives over my HOMEMADE biscuits. I 

refuse to buy them, can't stand the competition. 

17/05/2016, 19:06:59: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Some are doing theirs next week too I think. 

17/05/2016, 19:08:06: Sophie Connies Mum: Ha I'd like some of those think they're mixing them as 

a year group Con did some with Rids last week. They'll get through them all in the end . 

17/05/2016, 19:08:18: Kate Groves: Suggestive biscuits, that's brilliant! 

17/05/2016, 19:21:32: Sarah Burns: Gene has orange juice and biscuits. He seems underwhelmed. He 

still doesn't seem to know he has set a test. 

17/05/2016, 19:24:40: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Then Shacklewell has done well in preparing them but not 

putting them under pressure. 

17/05/2016, 19:25:11: Fitzgerald Ruth: I dunno. I'd still do pretty much anything for a biscuit. 

17/05/2016, 19:25:39: Sarah Burns: Or my son just doesn't ever know what's going on. Which is 

generally the case. 

17/05/2016, 19:29:43: Sarah Burns: Gene actually had one apple juice and one black currant juice. I 

asked him why. He said because they were good.

19/05/2016, 16:38:47: Kate Groves: Mums, miss Johnson is getting married next week. Last day at 

school tomo. I've got a card we can sign, Susie has bottle of fizz. Just a little bit of love and luck. X 

19/05/2016, 16:39:37: De Lucy: Ok 

19/05/2016, 16:47:32: +44 7977 507079: Is she marrying Mr Heath? Theo is convinced she is. 

19/05/2016, 16:49:46: Fitzgerald Ruth: Ooo wow! Exciting! 

Well done on card front, I'll sign tonight if you're bringing it. 

19/05/2016, 17:20:45: Gisele Della Bella: What instrument shall I cut David's balls ? 

Look at the message he just sent me!!! 

"Heading for a quick drink at KX with the lads. What time are you out?" 

19/05/2016, 17:21:53: Kate Groves: Tell him he has to be home by 6.30, little bugger 

19/05/2016, 17:21:55: Fitzgerald Ruth: Tell him we're meeting at 6.30 and come round to mine! 

19/05/2016, 17:23:46: Gisele Della Bella: I told him 5:58 or I will chop his balls out and have them 

for dinner !!!! 

19/05/2016, 17:24:26: Gisele Della Bella: Not I am not I rather have a burguer ! 

19/05/2016, 17:25:12: Sarah Burns: You should tell Miss Johnson this. Might prepare her better for 

marriage. 

19/05/2016, 17:27:03: Gisele Della Bella: Good idea I may give her David nuts as a gift in a jar.... 

19/05/2016, 17:28:01: Sarah Burns: We could give them away at Bingo if she doesn't want them. 

19/05/2016, 17:54:37: Fitzgerald Ruth: We could write numbers on them and pop them in the pot. 

19/05/2016, 17:55:59: Fitzgerald Ruth: Did anyone pick up the Rio tix? Am walking past imminently 

19/05/2016, 17:56:43: Kate Groves: Nope. Failed! 

19/05/2016, 18:03:00: Fitzgerald Ruth: They think someone else has picked them up.. 

19/05/2016, 18:03:22: Gisele Della Bella: The power of go under the knife! David is home

19/05/2016, 18:11:35: +44 7977 507079: I'm drinking beer already. I'm VERY excited. 

19/05/2016, 18:11:40: Fitzgerald Ruth: Got Rio tix.

might pop along for an hour or so. If it rains, does the event get cancelled? 

13/06/2016, 16:07:57: Fitzgerald Ruth: Not sure yet. I'm "working from home" so depends when I 

feel that nothing important will come in and I can escape. I'd rather not miss much so might leave

lunch if you've left already?? 

14/06/2016, 08:03:00: +44 7977 507079: I'm on the tube panicking that I am a terrible mother and 

my child will starve. Got the inspectors in at my school today so my mind is elsewhere. I've texted 

Gisele to ask her to make a lunch for me. Is that ok GG? Thanks god for Mega Mums 

14/06/2016, 08:05:09: +44 7977 507079: Ruth is on it! Thanks

14/06/2016, 08:21:21: Sophie Connies Mum: I've found the whole pack lunch thing confusing this 

year for a while we weren't allowed to send them now we are again. You are great good luck with 

inspectors. 

14/06/2016, 08:25:20: Sophie Connies Mum: So spoke to Casey they are waiting to see with the 

weather whether to have a picnic or come back to school for lunch. If you're watching you can take 

them home whenever it ends if you want to. Hope that helps does it make me a really bad mum that 

I'm actually kind of glad I'm not going? It does doesn't it I'll just have to live with it! 

14/06/2016, 08:35:51: Fitzgerald Ruth: You get the whole summer off with them. Infinitely 

preferable (for a time).

15/06/2016, 19:48:59: +44 7977 507079: I love that ginger is a word this week 

15/06/2016, 20:01:57: Sarah Burns: I love that it's in the same list as spice. 

15/06/2016, 20:03:29: +44 7977 507079: My kids are well spicy 

15/06/2016, 20:22:33: Sophie Connies Mum: Iris is chilly pepper tonight currently sobbing mummy I 

need you from her room repeatedly after having a massive tantrum over nothing. I wish it was drinks 

night tonight

15/06/2016, 21:55:50: +44 7977 507079: In other news I bought chilli bitters in NYC which means I 

can now officially make a chilli apple martini. 

15/06/2016, 21:58:25: +44 7977 507079: Cocktail night round mine? Is it time for the 'big night 

out'. Probably not tho - it's all big talk from me, I'm tipsy in the back of a cab again. 

15/06/2016, 21:58:45: +44 7977 507079: Just without Gisele on my lap this time 

15/06/2016, 22:01:32: Kate Groves: Gisele was trying to make you less tall "Get dooiwnnnnee 

chhhlloooooeeee"

16/06/2016, 12:36:44: Fitzgerald Ruth: Whoaaaa how'd they get that?? 

16/06/2016, 12:37:42: Sarah Burns: Fuckers. Let's graffiti it. We need a cherry picker - it's quite 

high. 

16/06/2016, 13:33:03: +44 7977 507079: Arrrrrgh. I'm scared now. 

16/06/2016, 13:36:59: De Lucy: Poll shows huge 10-point swing towards Leave a week before EU 

referendum http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/eu-referendum-poll-brexit-lead-ipsosmori-who-will-win-leave-campaign-remain-european-union-a7084951.html 

16/06/2016, 13:37:30: Kate Groves: Just read that... Makes me feel sick 

16/06/2016, 13:37:45: Sarah Burns: This is an actual nightmare. 

16/06/2016, 13:41:31: Susy Oscar Felix: We need to make sure the 20-25 age bracket get out of 

bed and vote! They are likely to support #remain but not vote. Harass them shamelessly! It's a 

nightmare out there. Devon was foul with Leave posters. I can't speak to my relatives any more 

either. Can we do drinkies soon? Xx 

16/06/2016, 13:42:21: Kate Groves: My 23 nephew didn't know there was a vote, wtf!! 

16/06/2016, 13:42:50: Susy Oscar Felix: Exactly! 

16/06/2016, 13:42:58: Kate Groves: Luckily his sister is voting remain. 

16/06/2016, 13:43:21: Sarah Burns: Young people's future is being decided by 65 year old racists. 

16/06/2016, 13:43:29: Susy Oscar Felix: Yup 

16/06/2016, 13:43:56: Kate Groves: And I know what you mean about families, my in laws are all 

out. I'm appalled. I can't answer the phone to them. 

16/06/2016, 13:45:22: +44 7977 507079: I'm feeling totally depressed about the world. We're 

going to be stuck on an island with a load of racist tories. Donald Trump is going to be in charge of 

America and kids are being eaten by alligators. You literally couldn't make this shit up. 

16/06/2016, 13:45:44: Susy Oscar Felix: My parents and everyone they know in Yorkshire are out. 

There should be a word to describe the horror when you realise your family are bigots. Brigots??! 

116

16/06/2016, 13:47:18: Kate Groves: Whereas my mum and dad are staying in, because they are using 

their vote for the younger generation. I was heartened by this, they were on the fence before. Let's 

hope more people think like this on the day. 

16/06/2016, 13:47:53: Susy Oscar Felix: Well done for convincing them! 

16/06/2016, 13:48:02: Sarah Burns: Ditto my dad. AND he's a monumental twat so this is good news 

for the nation. 

16/06/2016, 13:48:52: Sarah Burns: My 95 yr old grandma was voting leave but I reminded my mum 

she would be dead soon and therefore should vote remain. She has voted remain. 

16/06/2016, 13:49:45: Sarah Burns: Peter is going to be in Germany during the vote. Someone will 

need to come over and sedate me. 

16/06/2016, 13:58:56: Gisele Della Bella: Listen to me- I will threat to live my beloved England and 

I will go back to Brazil and no one ever again will eat my well cooked home made choc marshmallows 

sticks!!! 

Can someone open this nation eyes pleaseeee this whole thing makes me sick I just can't believe people 

can be so ignorant in order to vote "out" !!!!! 

I am an immigrant, I am also an expat, you name it, but I am someone who LOVE England and 

consider England my home and my heart country and my children country too - this will ruin their 

future!! 

Don't get me angry silly people !!!!!! 

You better vote in!!! 

My game is about to start!!! 

COME ON ENGLAND !!! 

16/06/2016, 14:04:58: Sarah Burns: I vote you don't move to tunbridge wells. Who's with me? 

#Gisain. 

16/06/2016, 14:06:28: +44 7977 507079: Gisain all the way 

16/06/2016, 14:51:52: Fitzgerald Ruth: SB - I can't be at street play from 2.30pm tomo. Just been 

reminded about a 2pm hair zapping appmt. I can wear a high vis from 3.30 tho. 

117

Can anyone else be there early..? It's straight forward, just setting the boundary (moving bins on to 

the road outside Bob's house to block cars) and making squash. 

16/06/2016, 14:57:36: Gisele Della Bella: No worries All under control I will be there x 

16/06/2016, 14:57:56: Fitzgerald Ruth: Have you got peeps to help you? 

16/06/2016, 14:59:05: Sarah Burns: Thanks team. The hi vis vests are in the cupboard - I checked 

this morning. There are 4. Bob will move the bins. 

We need biscuits squash and cups please can someone buy them? 

And we need whistles from somewhere. 

16/06/2016, 14:59:10: Sarah Burns: I have chalk. 

16/06/2016, 14:59:20: Sarah Burns: Teachers will bring out sport stuff. 

16/06/2016, 15:09:50: Kate Groves: Debs did say she would get there early to make squash 

16/06/2016, 15:10:04: Kate Groves: Do we need to buy the squash and biscuits? 

16/06/2016, 15:18:05: Sarah Burns: Yes and cups please. 

16/06/2016, 15:18:28: Sarah Burns: Or just leave it all to Debs, gel.

16/06/2016, 17:10:38: De Lucy: Someone else needs to steward as I can't do alone with Ollie 

16/06/2016, 17:11:43: Fitzgerald Ruth: No idea how many peeps go along. About 150?? Leftovers 

used at summer fair? 

16/06/2016, 17:11:51: Sophie Connies Mum: I can steward do I get to wear a tabard? 

16/06/2016, 17:12:13: Fitzgerald Ruth: Yeah baby. 

16/06/2016, 17:12:18: De Lucy: U get to weal some power 

16/06/2016, 17:13:58: Fitzgerald Ruth: Am on the reprobate bus. Might console myself with choc 

chip cookie. 

16/06/2016, 17:26:08: Sarah Burns: Yes leftover cups will be for summer fair thanks X 

16/06/2016, 17:29:41: Kate Groves: I'll pick up squash on way 

16/06/2016, 21:05:48: Gisele Della Bella: Politic makes me feel truly sick! Has a young mother had to 

die ? 

I wouldn't be surprised if her Death will change things- the ones who want support her wishes will 

now vote to stay in and some of these small minds now for some guilty feeling or put some thought of 

the real reasons they want Brexit now may vote to stay in... 

This whole thing has gone a step too far now 

I am going to bed with one and only wish - that killer of Jo Cox to rot in prison .... 

What is wrong with Britain???!!! 

16/06/2016, 21:07:17: Kate Groves: So terribly sad. 

16/06/2016, 21:07:57: Sarah Burns: Fucking barbarian. 

16/06/2016, 21:10:47: Fitzgerald Ruth: I am numb. 

16/06/2016, 21:12:53: Sophie Connies Mum: Poor little girls 4 and 5. 

On a lighter note love that Mr Heath had the football on the white board today and they watched it 

all afternoon, sly fox! 

119

16/06/2016, 21:22:43: Gisele Della Bella: Jack said a school was amazing today ( which he never ever 

said that) so then he said - we watched the England game !!! 

I love Shackwell xxx 

16/06/2016, 21:30:40: De Lucy: #remain #RIPJoCox keep the faith and keep campaigning ladies. 

There is no option 

16/06/2016, 21:31:51: +44 7977 507079: It is just so so sad. Those poor little girls growing up 

without their mumma. Breaks my heart. 

16/06/2016, 21:32:25: De Lucy: I am so close to tears it is unreal. 

16/06/2016, 21:32:36: Sophie Connies Mum: Her husbands statement was very powerful 

16/06/2016, 21:33:00: +44 7977 507079: Poor poor him. 

16/06/2016, 21:33:31: De Lucy: We must all convince others to vote and to be compassionate people 

like megamums are 

16/06/2016, 21:34:06: Susy Oscar Felix: Another casualty, thanks to Cameron and the nastier 

elements of our Media, stirring up hatred every morning 

16/06/2016, 21:34:48: Sophie Connies Mum: I know had to imagine what the last few have been like 

for him. Let's hope it at least makes people stop and think not that that makes it any better. 

16/06/2016, 21:35:47: +44 7977 507079: See you all at the gates tomorrow. Les drink coffee and 

toast Jo Cox and the remain campaign 

16/06/2016, 21:37:18: De Lucy: Am in 

16/06/2016, 21:37:33: Susy Oscar Felix: Me too xx 

16/06/2016, 21:39:24: Gisele Della Bella: I can but not for long as 2S assembly tomorrow x 

16/06/2016, 21:39:41: De Lucy: No till 10 tho 

16/06/2016, 21:40:07: Gisele Della Bella: Thanks lucy so I can then 

16/06/2016, 21:40:24: +44 7977 507079: Let's descend on Mouse and De lotz til 10 then X 

16/06/2016, 21:40:38: Kate Groves: I'll come too, does it matter that I don't have a toddler? 

120

16/06/2016, 21:41:03: +44 7977 507079: You can have mine 

16/06/2016, 21:43:46: Sophie Connies Mum: Or mine I only got her to go bed without a tantrum 

tonight by threatening her with not seeing Lotte 

16/06/2016, 21:49:27: Gisele Della Bella: Kate you can't ignore the little full of manners lady ! She 

is all yours . Isabella can't stop burping at the table ! And she loves it :( 

You guys can even have your own table I don't mind seat away .... Or may on the coffee shop next 

door. 

16/06/2016, 21:53:51: Fitzgerald Ruth: I'm discussing Brexit with an old buddy at the Shakey and 

we're just so fucking angry. The U.K. is basically a racist country and London is a pocket of faith. 

Disgusting times hearing all the shit coming out the workwork. 

16/06/2016, 22:04:15: Kate Groves: I'll have a coffee date with Isabella tomo, love that naughty 

kid. 

16/06/2016, 22:06:58: Gisele Della Bella: Tomorrow the water will 

Boil! We all had enough of all this dark cloud over our heads. 9am marsh together 

16/06/2016, 22:07:39: Kate Groves: Have faith. Apparently my Facebook posts have prompted my 

leave sister in law to research remain tonight. Little steps. 

16/06/2016, 22:20:39: Sarah Burns: Well done Kate! We can't give up. 

16/06/2016, 22:24:21: De Lucy: On another topic who is stewArding tomorrow at playing out? 

16/06/2016, 22:24:35: De Lucy: Need some volunteers 

17/06/2016, 07:58:47: +44 7977 507079: Random request mega mums. Does anyone have some hair 

straighteners I could borrow for the weekend? I've left mine at work

17/06/2016, 09:13:22: De Lucy: Rain keep away pls! 

17/06/2016, 09:47:37: Gisele Della Bella: Did that really happened?!?! What a loser !!!! 

17/06/2016, 09:48:46: Gisele Della Bella: A man just shouted to us as we were leaving the cafe 

because the girls were making to ivy noise !! 

We were leaving at that point and things just explode! I am furious want to go back there and kick hid 

balls !!! 

17/06/2016, 09:49:10: Fitzgerald Ruth: He chose the wrong group to bark at! Silly uptight wanker. 

17/06/2016, 09:49:43: Gisele Della Bella: I feel sorry got his poor wife to be with such a man 

17/06/2016, 09:50:17: Sarah Burns: Have I missed a fight? 

17/06/2016, 09:51:05: Gisele Della Bella: Oh yes !!! I want to go back there and put Tabasco on his 

coffee he shouted to us calling us not showing good manners we should let be there 

17/06/2016, 09:56:37: +44 7977 507079: I don't understand people who have kids who behave like 

that. I bet his kids are loud sometimes. Maybe not quite as loud as ours... 

17/06/2016, 09:57:53: Sarah Burns: He shouted at you for having shouty kids? 

17/06/2016, 09:58:02: +44 7977 507079: Yes! 

17/06/2016, 13:32:06: Fitzgerald Ruth: Just to cheer you all up a bit, I thought you should know 

that this exists:

17/06/2016, 14:53:52: +44 7977 507079: Yay! Looks mega fun. Watch out with your vote remain 

Tabards tho. Apparently Nicole didn't like it when my neighbour was giving out (remain) flyers outside 

the school yesterday... 

17/06/2016, 14:55:40: Gisele Della Bella: Yea Sophie mentioned that we will take down to avoid 

problems 

17/06/2016, 14:57:03: +44 7977 507079: My neighbour is a bit mad tho to be fair

138

17/06/2016, 16:41:46: Gisele Della Bella: Bugr been taking to hospital hurt his foot 

17/06/2016, 16:45:56: Sarah Burns: At the last event I moaned at his mum that she leaves them 

and what happens if they get hurt. 

17/06/2016, 16:49:22: Sophie Connies Mum: Oh no Kate you ended up on biscuit limiting duty! 

17/06/2016, 16:50:39: Fitzgerald Ruth: I had to stop him fighting a couple of times today. He was 

utterly horrid. Picking on younger kids as well. 

17/06/2016, 16:55:38: Sophie Connies Mum: Yes I saw him nearly fighting with Skye some older boys 

intervened. 

17/06/2016, 16:58:25: Fitzgerald Ruth: Who went to hospital with him? 

At least we can ask his mum to be there next time. Can we ask Nicole to email his mum and say she 

can't leave him? 

17/06/2016, 17:00:09: Sophie Connies Mum: A lady his Mum sent to pick them up. 

17/06/2016, 17:00:53: Sarah Burns: This is an issue because if he is seriously injured she might want 

to make a claim against the school. We have insurance naturally and the email made it clear you 

couldn't leave children unattended but if she didn't get the email she wouldn't even know about the 

event. 

17/06/2016, 17:01:10: Sarah Burns: Sophie - was the lady there from the start of the event? 

17/06/2016, 17:02:53: Sophie Connies Mum: Do they go home alone? I think children who go home 

alone are a tricky issue they inevitably stay and play for a bit there were quite a few older ones from 

our estate who came and went Nicole sent some of them home but it's hard to know if they have an 

adult there 

17/06/2016, 17:03:26: Sarah Burns: I think the sister takes them home. 

17/06/2016, 17:04:00: Sarah Burns: This could be the end of street play. Do you know what he has 

done? Is anything broken? 

17/06/2016, 17:04:20: De Lucy: No one was there except his friend. Thanks to everyone for helping. 

Esp for Kate picking up condoms with poo bags. Nuff respec! Risk assessment needs to be done before 

we consider another one? 

17/06/2016, 17:04:29: Sophie Connies Mum: Yes I thought so tricky because she can't make him go 

home he doesn't do what his Mum says let alone his sister. I didn't realise Mum wasn't there 

139

17/06/2016, 17:04:51: Kate Groves: I've got the low down from miss King 

17/06/2016, 17:05:08: De Lucy: Gis the Goss ? 

17/06/2016, 17:05:30: Sarah Burns: What is the lowdown. This cannot become a no win no fee claim. 

Seriously we will be up shit creek. 

17/06/2016, 17:05:42: Fitzgerald Ruth: The letter in the school bag said you can't leave the kids as 

well. 

17/06/2016, 17:05:44: De Lucy: Don't panic sarah 

17/06/2016, 17:06:20: Kate Groves: His mum thought his granma was with him. She is in big trouble 

with Nicole. Elaine told her she has to go in on Monday to see her. 

17/06/2016, 17:06:44: Fitzgerald Ruth: His mums phone was beeping the whole way through assembly 

this morning so maybe she's really busy.. 

17/06/2016, 17:06:50: Kate Groves: His foot is fine. Elaine checked it out, no swelling, no cuts etc 

17/06/2016, 17:07:30: Sophie Connies Mum: Nicole and Miss Web were not looking happy. I should 

think Mum should be more worried about being referred to social services to be honest. 

17/06/2016, 17:09:04: Sarah Burns: There wasn't a letter that went home was there? Was it on the 

newsletter? 

17/06/2016, 17:10:11: De Lucy: Nicole announced in assembly about parents being there 

17/06/2016, 17:10:11: Sophie Connies Mum: It was in the newsletter can't remember if it said they 

need to be accompanied didn't really read it 

17/06/2016, 17:10:56: Sarah Burns: Ok. I'll take some deep breaths. She left them at the film 

night. I had words with her at the Xmas party. 

17/06/2016, 17:12:20: Fitzgerald Ruth: YES!! Well done Lucy! I was sitting next to her so she would 

have definitely heard (although on her phone). I thought I read it in a letter but perhaps not. 

17/06/2016, 17:12:54: De Lucy: It was on a text yesterday also 

17/06/2016, 17:12:59: Sarah Burns: I didn't put up posters. I'm going to be in trouble 

17/06/2016, 17:13:41: Fitzgerald Ruth: Yeah you did. I saw them. Anyone else see them? 

140

17/06/2016, 17:21:34: Sarah Burns: There were no posters. Hopefully he is just fine and there will 

be no trouble. 

17/06/2016, 17:23:26: Kate Groves: This afternoon goes down as one of my finest, I picked up a 

used condom, I was mugged for biscuits, I called a child a sod, I'm best friends with debs... 

17/06/2016, 17:23:48: Kate Groves: But debs and Liz were proper helpful 

17/06/2016, 17:24:23: Sarah Burns: You are a hero. I won't be chair next term and no one will ever 

feel 

Obliged to help ever again. You're all off the hook. 

17/06/2016, 17:26:25: Sophie Connies Mum: Surely if she has been spoken to about leaving them 

unattended in the past she won't feel like she can complain. What was her reaction when you spoke to 

her at the xmas party Sarah? 

17/06/2016, 17:27:42: Sarah Burns: I told her if anything happened to the children we didn't have 

her contact details etc etc. She didn't say anything, I was annoyed with her and diplomacy isn't my 

thing. 

17/06/2016, 17:31:25: Kate Groves: Happy Friday everyone, I'm going to have a large drink

17/06/2016, 17:36:14: Fitzgerald Ruth: THAT IS HILARIOUS!! 

17/06/2016, 17:36:19: Sarah Burns: It's good that people put their religious beliefs before sending 

their kids to school on a nice full belly. 

17/06/2016, 17:36:59: Sarah Burns: Where there's blame there's a claim. 

17/06/2016, 17:38:28: Fitzgerald Ruth: Sue God. 

17/06/2016, 17:38:39: Kate Groves: Atheist. 

17/06/2016, 17:41:01: Gisele Della Bella: I can't stop laughing !! I was like to his friend- no you 

can't do that let him have his drink ! He needs a drink !! I was proud when I saw his happy face after 

down it all in one go !!! 

17/06/2016, 17:41:21: Gisele Della Bella: Po 

17/06/2016, 17:42:18: Kate Groves: Poor lad, he was gasping... 

17/06/2016, 18:05:24: Josephine Goetlee: Wow, sounds like a eventful afternoon for you all...I 

thought calling the fire brigade to rescue someone from our office roof was exciting enough...sorry I 

missed the Street Play....good to have the blow by blow account! 

17/06/2016, 18:06:17: Kate Groves: You couldn't make it up. 

17/06/2016, 18:07:29: De Lucy: Good grief Jo yours sounds stressful aswell. Oh and we had to move 

along a rather drunk man with a foul mouth who walked into school grounds at end of school time. 

Called me a half caste. Haven't heard that in 20 yrs! Joy 

17/06/2016, 18:21:58: De Lucy: Sarah- I am going to talk with Claudia playing out lead for hackney 

later for debrief . 

17/06/2016, 18:24:00: Sarah Burns: Ok. Hackney are giving us loads of play cones if she asks, I 

applied for them. 

17/06/2016, 19:10:17: Fitzgerald Ruth: OMFG. I think we should type this up as the best event 

ever. 

I was told that I'm not from round here and should "fuck off back to Leeds" the other day. Leeds?? 

17/06/2016, 19:11:53: Sarah Burns:

17/06/2016, 19:14:17: Gisele Della Bella: I didn't get it - Leeds? Why did someone think you are 

from Leeds? 

17/06/2016, 19:14:22: Jacqui Daniels Mum: I can't believe I missed all this! 

17/06/2016, 19:15:12: Kate Groves: Who told you to fuck off? A parent? 

17/06/2016, 19:16:06: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Gisele, I saw you trying to deal with a loud drunk looking 

man before it even started? 

17/06/2016, 19:28:49: Gisele Della Bella: That old man shouldn't be around kids in that state - it is 

not the first time and may not be the last he turns up at school - the poor thing probably can't hurt 

a flower BUT he can shout and say bad things so one to watch for. Lucy walked him all the away out 

and things come out his mouth are not pleasant! ( off course when you can understand a thing as he is 

so drunk)! 

Bob is aware of him and he always get him out or stop him going in ... 

17/06/2016, 19:34:32: Fitzgerald Ruth: It was on a train at DJ and I asked the lovely gentleman 

standing in the doorway to move to the left or right so people could get on and he ranted that London 

is too full and accused me of being "100% white" and said and I should fuck off back to Leeds as 

London doesn't belong to me. I pointed out that London doesn't belong to anyone and that 100% white 

doesn't exist. 

Reckon it was my thick Yorks accent that really did it tho. 

17/06/2016, 19:36:27: Sarah Burns: You're so northern Ruth. 

17/06/2016, 19:37:18: Fitzgerald Ruth: Well I'm actually from County Durham but didn't fancy going 

into it. 

17/06/2016, 19:41:56: Fitzgerald Ruth: Riddy just told me had 11 biscuits!! 

17/06/2016, 19:54:57: Kate Groves: It might of been him I called a little sod... It wasn't. 

17/06/2016, 19:55:19: Kate Groves: All our spoilt children had millions of biscuits 

17/06/2016, 19:56:13: Fitzgerald Ruth: I've told him that he needs to give his pocket money to SPA 

this week. 

17/06/2016, 19:57:11: Sarah Burns: Isn't that the whole point of street play though? Eat biscuits, 

play, eat more biscuits. 

143

17/06/2016, 20:09:44: Gisele Della Bella: Sarah you thought Gene well- at one point I counted 4 

cookies in his hand and one in his mount and I told him gene you can't hold any more and I got a 

check smile back ! And yes he got one more and held it on his other hand!!! 

I love these kids !!!!! 

Isabella was taking sips of the drinks and put them back on the table - if any child is sick tomorrow 

you know who spread the bug!!! 

17/06/2016, 20:14:41: Gisele Della Bella: Also fair play to Deb and the other lady with very short 

hair - I don't know her name but they done so well helping from early start , looking after the drink 

table and washing all the jugs and cleaning up the all rubbish on the street ! You see the world can be 

change with friendship and respect xxx 

17/06/2016, 20:15:19: Gisele Della Bella: What is her name ? Does anyone knows ? Deb's friend ?! 

17/06/2016, 20:16:51: Kate Groves: They were wicked. The pair of them. Debs and Liz (I think). 

17/06/2016, 20:19:17: Gisele Della Bella: They can moaning until the cows go home but even under 

the heavy rain they made sure it was all clear and tidy and washed so a big thank you to them too we 

could easly be short of help if wasn't for the both of them today 

I love them now 

17/06/2016, 20:21:19: De Lucy: I am the true northerner here from Bradford not Leeds mind you 

( with Suzie). Now I know where to go! Poor Ruth! 

17/06/2016, 20:21:43: De Lucy: Gisele do you have the road signs in ur car still? 

17/06/2016, 20:22:52: Sarah Burns: WHAT?!!! Debbie helped?! 

17/06/2016, 20:23:00: Gisele Della Bella: Hum hum hum I don't think so - I can't remember but 

quite sure nothing is there- Kate do you remember seeing them when you got Ava stuff ? 

17/06/2016, 20:23:44: De Lucy: I thought they were brought in but I can't find them . I will have 

another look 

17/06/2016, 20:23:56: Gisele Della Bella: Sarah Debbie and Liz managed the drink table the clean up 

as you wouldn't believe! Fair play to both of them thru got there for 3 pm and were great really 

17/06/2016, 20:36:51: Gisele Della Bella: Before I forget- when I was in the reception this 

afternoon I was talking with Bev about the Brazilian workshop etc they had at school today etc then 

one of the teachers ( sorry i don't know his name ) came over to mention everything went well 

144

lablsbla BUT the capoeira session had a few "accidents" which Bev said they should have required 

safety assessment before gone ahead so came to my thoughts we should reconsider having a capoeira 

workshop on the school fair ... 

Truly if you consider what capoeira is all about , we will be asking for trouble- getting kids to jump 

around kicking air while standing on their arms .. 

Have a world with Bev and I guess she will advice not to have it! 

17/06/2016, 20:42:32: Gisele Della Bella: Also did you guys know the school owns quite African 

drums ?! 

Kate and I had a go on them and we were rubbish !!! 

If we knew anyone can play them - music sorted ! 

17/06/2016, 20:44:14: Sarah Burns: I don't even want the capoeira guy. He's £90! But Naomi is 

impossible. 

17/06/2016, 20:44:47: Gisele Della Bella: I got the business card of the Brazilian people today who 

were running the workshops I will give them a call on Monday to find out prices for music workshop 

sessions etc 

They can offer the whole " carnival experience" 

I mean drums , samba , and near naked woman but by talking to him I realised it was quite 

expensive... 

17/06/2016, 20:47:14: Gisele Della Bella: I know she is very pushing on the fact we have to go with 

this but if we have to pass through the school what we are planing to have the school may object it 

after today but very difficult position to be as we can't only do what only us think it is right .... 

17/06/2016, 20:48:15: Sarah Burns: She takes things very personally. I will speak to Bev on Monday. 

17/06/2016, 20:49:34: Gisele Della Bella: I know difficult one 

17/06/2016, 21:18:32: De Lucy: Sarah :-Had a good chat with Claudia from playing out. She will give 

me a checklist / risk assessment tool for schools playing out. If we are allowed again that is! 

17/06/2016, 21:19:23: De Lucy: I think a similar risk assessment for school fair may not be a bad 

idea. Drumming would be fab and may appease Naomi 

17/06/2016, 21:19:21: Sarah Burns: Great. You can give it to the new chair! 

145

17/06/2016, 21:19:40: Sarah Burns: I always do risk assessment for school fair. 

17/06/2016, 21:19:57: De Lucy: I will share with Nicole but I am not becoming chair! 

17/06/2016, 21:20:06: Kate Groves: Point Chris raised. Who did the school give Bugra too at home 

time? He's too young to get given to his 10 year old sister everyday, street play or not. Discuss. 

17/06/2016, 21:21:25: Kate Groves: He wants me to ask you what age you would allow your kids to 

walk to school in their own. 

17/06/2016, 21:22:46: Sarah Burns: Susy mentioned ages ago last year in fact how she was 

concerned that bugra and his sister were crossing the main road not at a crossing. 

17/06/2016, 21:23:58: Sophie Connies Mum: He isn't too young there's no law on what age children 

can go home alone we have year 5 and 6 children picking up siblings and year 4 children go home alone 

parents choice in the end but they could be prosecuted of something happened law is very vague. 

Though I agree he isn't sensible enough and I'm sure his sister can't control him. 

17/06/2016, 21:24:18: Sarah Burns: I'm not sure about the best age. I think it will depend on how 

capable gene is at crossing the road. I expect a number of kids at school going home with older 

siblings - MJs sisters take him home. 

17/06/2016, 21:26:05: Sophie Connies Mum: Yes I think it depends on the child someone in year 2 

could be sensible enough while someone in year 6 not. I thought they lived on our estate but obviously 

not if they're crossing the main road 

17/06/2016, 21:27:20: Sarah Burns: I think they live in the big block of flats opposite beyond retro. 

17/06/2016, 21:28:39: Kate Groves: I thought they lived nearer me? I always see them here. 

17/06/2016, 21:44:09: Kate Groves: Chris says Ava isn't allowed to walk to school on her own until 

she's 15. Problem there. 

17/06/2016, 21:48:30: Sarah Burns: That's every teenagers dream. Mum walking them to school 

every day. 

17/06/2016, 21:49:04: Kate Groves: I won't be walking her... 

17/06/2016, 21:49:29: Kate Groves: We've just had words

17/06/2016, 21:51:50: Sarah Burns: No, I am looking at who can stack the most Cheerios on their 

sleeping babies. 

17/06/2016, 21:53:49: Kate Groves: A man has just painted a picture with his cock

19/06/2016, 20:50:02: Sophie Connies Mum: Ha! Then Fleur and Ridley could have their own cooking 

show like Matilda Ramsey you could all be living the dream. X 

19/06/2016, 20:50:56: Fitzgerald Ruth: Steve had better get pumping iron so he can take his top 

off. 

19/06/2016, 21:46:13: Kate Groves: If you move to LA, I'll be your PA. 

19/06/2016, 21:46:36: Kate Groves: He is super duper on screen! 

19/06/2016, 21:47:16: +44 7977 507079: He's bloody brilliant! Don't move to LA for gawds sake. 

20/06/2016, 08:58:04: Gisele Della Bella: Kate I hope you didn't put your feet in a paddle ! 

20/06/2016, 09:04:46: Kate Groves: Gisele, it didn't matter, I'm soaked! Thanks for the lift :) 


20/06/2016, 10:02:59: Gisele Della Bella: Missy !!!!! 

20/06/2016, 10:03:30: Sarah Burns: ❤

I have emailed my contact at the bowling place and the restaurant in church st so hopefully they will 

donate prizes 

Mega Mums - Anyone who has a restaurant manager's friend or owns a restaurant or an entertainment 

venue whatever that would suit for a raffle prize- if you do know someone I have a lovely wording 

email with all the Inf you need in order to beg for a prize so let me know I will send you the 

wording ready for you to pass it on x 

What time can I open my first bet to get in mood for the game ??!! 

20/06/2016, 16:12:04: Sarah Burns: Spoke with Elaine she thought he was actually ok. There was an 

injury for the capoeira though at school. Who thinks we should not have it at the fair? I emailed Bev 

she thought we should not, 

20/06/2016, 16:16:42: Gisele Della Bella: Brazilian speaking here ... 

Capoeira is good for those who knows how to play - getting kids with weak bones to jump around 

kicking each others on face or stand in one arm or their heads we are asking for trouble !!!! 

And Not mentioning the BERIMBAU noise; the instrument they use to play the music is EXTREMELY 

annoying ... 

Capoeira is only nice to watch on the beach after a few caipirinhas as the sun is coming down and your 

skin is burning because you so wanted a tan and only sprayed factor 20 to your face when you should 

have put 50!!!! 

Wrinkles here they come !!!! 

20/06/2016, 16:21:08: Gisele Della Bella: Problem is who will face telling Naomi .. 

I will contact the guys who came to the school and ask what price they would run a batucada workshop 

( basically get the kids and adults to play the drums on rhythm ( it would be more fun , no risk and it 

would also provide music to the fair) sounds easy but we Kate and I had a go and it is not as simple as 

it looks .. The school owns quite a few drums we just need the teacher really and they offer shows 

with half naked woman etc if anyone wants something more spice .. Imagine we could put Steve to do 

a spice cook lesson and Brazilian naked bikini dancing around his stall - Bingo we would be voted the 

best hackney school !!! 

20/06/2016, 16:21:56: Gisele Della Bella: Can I open my beer now ???!!! 

20/06/2016, 16:24:14: Jacqui Daniels Mum:

20/06/2016, 16:26:13: Gisele Della Bella: Manage to get some work done ?! I am in front my 

computer answers very bizarre Ebay customers questions so rather concentrate on the samba and 

watching the clock for beer footy time .. 

20/06/2016, 16:27:21: Gisele Della Bella: Bowling on the bag "We would be happy to donate one 

bowling lane for one hour, worth up to £39 and for 6 persons to bowl. This does not include Friday 

and Saturday nights after 6pm and Bank Holidays." 

20/06/2016, 16:30:11: Sarah Burns: I honestly can't face telling Naomi. I didn't think it was a very 

use of our money to be honest but she's not the easiest of individuals as she takes it all very 

personally. 

20/06/2016, 16:30:58: Gisele Della Bella: Keep it in ... But get a consent form for parents to sign it 

before kids join the workshop 

20/06/2016, 16:32:55: +44 7977 507079: That's crazy. If we don't want it shouldn't we just tell 

her? 

20/06/2016, 16:34:24: Sarah Burns: Were you not in the meeting when we discussed it?! Did you not 

see how annoyed she was when we deliberated it

Could we tell her we don't have a licence to cover it? And that Bev has advised against it? And that 

we've had issues with street play and have to play it safe?? 

20/06/2016, 17:05:39: Gisele Della Bella: Give me a few caipirinhas made of cachaça and I can run a 

capoeira + samba workshop for free ( if helps) taking the decision xxxxxx 

20/06/2016, 17:16:13: Kate Groves: I'll tell her. Risk of injury, school would prefer / asked us not 

to do it. I'll tell her tomo. 

20/06/2016, 17:17:00: Sarah Burns: We do have risk insurance. But we can say school has said no. 

20/06/2016, 17:33:57: Fitzgerald Ruth: Go Kate! 

20/06/2016, 17:34:57: Fitzgerald Ruth: I do like the idea of a class at the fair tho, just needs to 

be free/cheaper and agreed by all. 

20/06/2016, 17:36:00: Sarah Burns: I like something like samba where everyone can join in - parents 

too and we don't need a schedule. What child is going to remember to turn up? 

20/06/2016, 17:36:30: +44 7977 507079: Well done Kate! I AM scared of her. I vote for Giseles 

class. 

20/06/2016, 17:39:31: Susy Oscar Felix: Did we fix a date for pub night? Xx 

20/06/2016, 17:45:42: Gisele Della Bella: I was joking by the away !! I can't dance imagine samba x 

20/06/2016, 17:49:45: Kate Groves: We do have a date. But I can't remember when! Chloe (chief 

admin) when is it? 

20/06/2016, 17:50:36: Gisele Della Bella: I think we are going with 6/7 

20/06/2016, 17:51:13: Gisele Della Bella: But waiting for the chief to confirm - whenever happen we 

will end up with a horrible hangover and that so scare me :( 

20/06/2016, 19:31:15: +44 7977 507079: Chief admin here. I think we said Wednesday 7th? Can 

everyone do that? 

20/06/2016, 19:32:06: +44 7977 507079: Wednesday 6th I mean. I could do Friday as well- might 

be safer! 

20/06/2016, 19:32:20: +44 7977 507079: Friday 8th 

20/06/2016, 19:38:02: Gisele Della Bella: Are you sure Friday 8th -,how about Lotte thing ?! 

151

20/06/2016, 19:51:08: +44 7977 507079: After that? 

20/06/2016, 19:52:18: Gisele Della Bella: Good thinking ... If works for you Saturday's hangovers 

somehow feels less painful - so I am in for Friday the 8th 

20/06/2016, 19:55:17: +44 7977 507079: Ok can everyone else do that date? Pleeeeease say YES 

20/06/2016, 19:56:30: De Lucy: Friday's r better 4 me 

20/06/2016, 19:59:57: Fitzgerald Ruth: Am out at the mo, will check with Steve a bit later. I have 

to be at Hackney marshes for 9am on Sat tho so I'll make you pity me! 

20/06/2016, 20:09:46: Gisele Della Bella: We need to make sure Suzy is in thou 

20/06/2016, 20:18:30: Sophie Connies Mum: Fine for me xx 

20/06/2016, 20:43:56: Sarah Burns: I'm in. 

20/06/2016, 20:43:59: Kate Groves: Hey, I meant to be in Margate at my pals on the Friday for the 

weekend :( 

20/06/2016, 20:44:38: +44 7977 507079: ARSE. Can't do it without you Kate. 

20/06/2016, 20:46:27: +44 7977 507079: Friday 15th? 

20/06/2016, 20:47:03: +44 7977 507079: Oh god no we can't be hungover for the school fair... 

20/06/2016, 20:47:04: Gisele Della Bella: No way who will call keep a normal conversation with the 

cab driver ?? 

20/06/2016, 20:48:13: Sophie Connies Mum: Have we ruled out Friday 1st July already? 

20/06/2016, 20:48:48: +44 7977 507079: I can't do 1st. Off camping X 

20/06/2016, 20:50:25: Sophie Connies Mum: How about Thursday June 30th or Thursday 14th? 

20/06/2016, 20:54:22: +44 7977 507079: Gisele can't do 30th. Thursday 14th might work. 

20/06/2016, 21:05:25: Fitzgerald Ruth: Have we ruled out next Thur? 

20/06/2016, 21:06:22: +44 7977 507079: That's 30th. Gisele you can't do it right? 

20/06/2016, 21:12:20: Gisele Della Bella: I probably could do it will just be there a bit late 

152

20/06/2016, 21:12:48: Gisele Della Bella: So I am in 

20/06/2016, 21:12:58: Jacqui Daniels Mum: I can't. Have PC the next morning... 

20/06/2016, 21:14:52: Gisele Della Bella: Back to the 7th July when I think most of us could do ?!

20/06/2016, 21:15:05: Gisele Della Bella: Sorry I mean the 6/7 not 7/7 

20/06/2016, 21:17:55: +44 7977 507079: 6TH JULY. Be there or be square. 

20/06/2016, 21:23:03: Fitzgerald Ruth: Steve's out on 6th and I've got mental meetings on Thur but 

I'll get a sitter and take it easy. I DO have will power when it's needed.. Hmm. 

20/06/2016, 21:29:36: Gisele Della Bella: Ridley could have a sleep over here if he likes x 

20/06/2016, 21:40:12: Fitzgerald Ruth: Oh thanks hon but he struggles with school night sleepovers 

poor thing! I've got lots of sitter numbers, will definitely get one xx 

21/06/2016, 06:13:34: De Lucy: I can't do 6 th as examining the next day 

21/06/2016, 07:59:06: Sarah Burns: Can't keep up with dates. So back to capeiro - am I 

overreacting? Shall we just keep it in? Perhaps parents can join in too? 

21/06/2016, 09:56:49: +44 7977 507079: David Beckham announces he will vote to stay in the EU -

21/06/2016, 10:00:21: Gisele Della Bella: Said it all- these worlds may change everything coming 

from him" 

I do think we are now safe things have changed in the last few days !!!! Can't wait !!! 

"We live in a vibrant and connected world where together as a people we are strong. For our children 

and their children, we should be facing the problems of the world together and not alone." 

21/06/2016, 10:00:22: +44 7977 507079: I know it's a cliche but I ❤ DB. 

21/06/2016, 10:45:20: Sarah Burns: Everyone loves DB. That will probably swing the vote now. 

153

21/06/2016, 11:03:46: Fitzgerald Ruth: I even quite like VB these days. 

21/06/2016, 11:08:10: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Capeiro, you aren't overreacting Sarah. Take it out. 

21/06/2016, 11:08:45: Kate Groves: I totally ❤ DB 

21/06/2016, 11:17:53: +44 7977 507079: Agreed Jaqui (but still too scared to tell her) VB and DB 

are dreamy 

21/06/2016, 11:18:19: Sarah Burns: I've told her. 

21/06/2016, 11:18:36: Kate Groves: Not sure we're we left drinkies. If the Friday is good, pencil 

me in and let me see what I can do re Margate. Susie and Gisele, what's best for you? 

21/06/2016, 11:18:36: +44 7977 507079: How did it go? 

21/06/2016, 11:18:52: Kate Groves: well done SB 

21/06/2016, 11:19:21: Kate Groves: That was a fist bump not a punch 

21/06/2016, 11:20:32: Sarah Burns: There's no negotiation on it now for me so I felt quite confident 

telling her to cancel it 

21/06/2016, 11:21:40: Gisele Della Bella: I am good with any of the dates so whatever works for the 

majority I am in 

21/06/2016, 11:22:15: +44 7977 507079: Ooooh the Friday 8this the best for sure - think 

EVERYONE can do that -Susy? Is Margate changeable? 

21/06/2016, 11:36:16: Sarah Burns: Naomi now making a fuss. I've told her tough shit. I refuse to 

have that risk. If she wants to be chair and deal with insurers and risk then she is more than 

welcome. 

21/06/2016, 11:42:55: Fitzgerald Ruth: Yeah!! She can't be chair bcos she can't just do stuff 

without double checking costs etc. Well done SB. You're off the hook Kate... 

21/06/2016, 11:43:39: Fitzgerald Ruth: What's the party line btw so we can all stick to it if 

approached? 

21/06/2016, 11:44:55: Gisele Della Bella: She may be doing a mate a favour to promote his business 

or something - ignore I can tell her what I really think of group of kids doing capoeira !! And it is like 

Buying an iPhone from China! The guy is not even Brazilian but Colombia ahahaha 

154

21/06/2016, 11:47:37: Sarah Burns: Thanks team. It's ok she gets it now. 

21/06/2016, 11:47:39: Gisele Della Bella: Ops iPhones are made in China so my point doesn't make 

sense :( hahaha 

21/06/2016, 11:48:09: Gisele Della Bella: I will bring her a burimbau from Brazil 

21/06/2016, 11:52:01: +44 7977 507079: Gisele!

21/06/2016, 19:50:48: Kate Groves: Recruit at Teddy bears picnic? 

21/06/2016, 19:50:49: +44 7977 507079: How many people have signed up? Are people being arsey 

about it? 

21/06/2016, 19:51:10: +44 7977 507079: Good idea Kate! I'll be there. 

21/06/2016, 19:51:18: Sarah Burns: Yes I'm at the teddy bears picnic tomorrow so will be on it. 

21/06/2016, 19:51:41: +44 7977 507079: I'll help 

21/06/2016, 19:51:42: Sarah Burns: I have 52 signed up - were down 12 on last year. 

21/06/2016, 19:51:52: Sarah Burns: Thanks! 

21/06/2016, 19:52:14: Sarah Burns: There are some names in the list from last year who I need to 

find 

21/06/2016, 19:53:07: Sarah Burns: Ruth do you know nermin who lives at no 14 perch street? 

21/06/2016, 21:05:56: Kate Groves: FYI it appears even a picture of Missy holding a remain poster 

couldn't change the mind of my dimwitted, probably a bit racist, narrow minded sister in law. If we 

lose on Thursday its my fault. 

21/06/2016, 21:07:52: Gisele Della Bella: We are not going to lose then you can invite her for 

dinner ..and me too to make her night x 

21/06/2016, 21:14:14: Sarah Burns: I think everyone outside of the cities is voting leave, except 

Scotland they are all remain. 

21/06/2016, 21:17:18: Kate Groves: I've got to go to Somerset week after next to see them all. I'll 

just have to drink my way through it. I love them dearly, just don't agree with them. On anything. 

21/06/2016, 21:44:30: +44 7977 507079: Is anyone watching the referendum debate on bbc1? Bit 

scary. They are cheering for Boris. He just got a standing ovation. GULP 

21/06/2016, 21:45:14: Fitzgerald Ruth: Fuck?! Who from?? 

21/06/2016, 21:45:29: +44 7977 507079: A live audience at Wembley arena 

21/06/2016, 21:46:13: Fitzgerald Ruth: They'd better be a thorough mix. 

156

21/06/2016, 21:49:24: Sophie Connies Mum: We were watching it Connie got very involved and 

impassioned about staying in Europe said Boris Johnson shouldn't tell lies and make it all about him.

158

21/06/2016, 21:50:11: Fitzgerald Ruth: So astute that girl. 

21/06/2016, 21:50:37: Sophie Connies Mum: No Chloe it's burning my eyes. 

21/06/2016, 21:50:59: +44 7977 507079: He is so gross 

21/06/2016, 21:51:27: +44 7977 507079: First he fucked up the education system and now this. 

Knobber. 

21/06/2016, 21:52:05: Kate Groves: Knobber. Well said. 

159

21/06/2016, 21:54:30: +44 7977 507079: Will stop taking pictures of my TV now 

21/06/2016, 21:54:31: Sophie Connies Mum: In a perfect fantasy world we'll stay in and all the 

wanders involved with the out campaign will have to crawl under a stone and never come out again.

21/06/2016, 22:05:46: Sarah Burns: ❤ 

21/06/2016, 22:23:21: Sarah Burns: When is our night out? Is it agreed? 

21/06/2016, 22:24:03: +44 7977 507079: I think we are going for Friday 8th and Kate is going to 

try and move her Margate weekend X 

161

21/06/2016, 22:59:22: Fitzgerald Ruth: If not, then Wed 6th so we all need to keep both dates 

free! 

22/06/2016, 09:14:01: Kate Groves: I've just been Debs'd all the way from school to harvest. And 

then Naomi came along. I left them moaning about capo-bleeding-eara. God give me strength. 

22/06/2016, 09:14:44: Sarah Burns: Ffs. What were they moaning about? 

22/06/2016, 09:15:45: Kate Groves: The banning of the Colombian capawotsit man 

22/06/2016, 09:16:15: Sarah Burns: What was Naomi saying? 

22/06/2016, 09:17:03: Sarah Burns: Was she saying it's important for children to injure themselves 

occasionally or some other such shit? 

22/06/2016, 09:23:20: Kate Groves: I diverted the conversation to her hair 

22/06/2016, 09:25:58: Sarah Burns: I honestly despair of her. 

22/06/2016, 09:31:23: Gisele Della Bella: Chega !!!!!! 

22/06/2016, 09:31:43: Gisele Della Bella: means I had enough!!! 

22/06/2016, 09:32:13: Gisele Della Bella: Does anyone fancy a bit of adventure playground after 

school today ?! x 

Come on get these kids wild !!! 

22/06/2016, 09:35:40: Gisele Della Bella: The man who shout at us at the cafe is at the till 

22/06/2016, 09:36:54: Gisele Della Bella: Sorry that was a message to Jackie who is in the cafe and 

guess hi just walked in ?? 

22/06/2016, 09:37:27: Kate Groves: Make the kids scream! 

22/06/2016, 09:40:17: Gisele Della Bella: I run out he may have a gun 

22/06/2016, 09:40:41: Fitzgerald Ruth: Get his name and run a background check. We could get him 

banned. 

22/06/2016, 12:13:54: +44 7977 507079: Just went to get Lotte socks for school next year!eeeek 

can't believe I will have two children at school! If anyone has any little school skirts or dresses they 

don't need anymore let me know! X 

162

22/06/2016, 12:16:39: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Me neither, it's crazy. Pity Lotte and Alexandra aren't 

in the same class but they will do loads together anyway. 

22/06/2016, 12:17:05: Sarah Burns: Who's got mr spencer? 

22/06/2016, 12:17:23: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Alexandra 

22/06/2016, 12:17:50: Jacqui Daniels Mum: But she was more excited that she has Ms Mini as a 

TA... 

22/06/2016, 12:18:23: Jacqui Daniels Mum: How many sign ups did we get for the estate agent 

boards, SB? 

22/06/2016, 12:18:58: Sarah Burns: About 8 I think. I'm really pleased 

22/06/2016, 12:19:15: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Great! 

22/06/2016, 12:20:22: Kate Groves: I've got some bits Chloe X 

22/06/2016, 12:23:46: +44 7977 507079: Thanks Kate. Can't bear to spend money on nasty grey 

dresses. They are so ugly. And I can't find any knee high socks which Lotts has told me she MUST 

wear when she goes go to school. 

22/06/2016, 12:25:44: +44 7977 507079: We got ms Alexandra who seems v sweet. And a lovely 

new TA who took Lotte in when she felt shy. SOB! Shax did us proud mega mums. A very well 

organised affair. 

22/06/2016, 12:26:09: Sarah Burns: It's the best. 

22/06/2016, 12:26:14: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Agreed, I thought it was really well done and welcoming 

to new parents. 

22/06/2016, 12:26:45: Jacqui Daniels Mum: I just emailed Nicole to say so. Michelle was painful, but 

otherwise it was really good! 

22/06/2016, 12:29:46: +44 7977 507079: She IS painful. 

22/06/2016, 12:31:45: Sarah Burns: Michelle was better than previous years at least she let them 

speak. 

22/06/2016, 12:32:10: Sarah Burns: But she needs to lose the air of self importance. 

22/06/2016, 12:33:12: +44 7977 507079: I think she's a mega twat 

163

22/06/2016, 12:33:24: Jacqui Daniels Mum: She is so self important. And how she marched into the 

hall saying "right right..." really loudly made me feel like I was about to start military camp. 

22/06/2016, 12:35:30: Sarah Burns: No one cares that she oversees 3 schools except her. It's 

irrelevant. I think the talk would be better without her. 

22/06/2016, 12:36:33: Sarah Burns: We also need to do something about the sound from the screen 

it's shit. I suggest spa buys something new. 

22/06/2016, 12:36:39: Jacqui Daniels Mum: And her bit about how she deals with the "really 

difficult" parents wasn't smart - she was talking to the parents, not other teachers... 

22/06/2016, 12:37:03: Sarah Burns: Agree. It's a bit insulting. 

22/06/2016, 12:37:31: Jacqui Daniels Mum: I agree, sound wasn't great. Good SPA purchase if 

affordable. 

22/06/2016, 12:38:19: Sarah Burns: Also new parents are then asking why would some parents be 

difficult at this lovely new school. 

We did buy them a new sound system. I think they also need a new fixed one for the hall. 

22/06/2016, 12:41:22: +44 7977 507079: We should tell that to Michelle and Nicole. Feedback is a 

gift. (Not from me tho. I'm too scared of them both) 

22/06/2016, 12:42:27: +44 7977 507079: In other news I'm in IKEA. Anyone need anything? 

22/06/2016, 12:43:14: Sarah Burns: Michelle's really open to feedback. 

22/06/2016, 12:43:22: Sarah Burns:

22/06/2016, 12:53:46: De Lucy: Strong smell of dope from a dad who didn't stop talking and phones 

going off wasn't setting a good example. Michelle will be onto them pdq! Sarah and Jacqui were 

inspirational! 

22/06/2016, 12:54:44: Sarah Burns: And i managed to sleight hally house :-) 

22/06/2016, 12:54:56: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Thank you Lucy 

22/06/2016, 12:55:16: Fitzgerald Ruth: I'm so proud of Sarah and Jacqui. You guys actually make 

the school a better place. Important stuff xxxxxx 

22/06/2016, 12:55:34: Jacqui Daniels Mum: You did manage to get that in. Nicole looked very 

amused! 

22/06/2016, 12:56:00: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Whilst trying to keep a straight face... 

22/06/2016, 12:56:22: Sarah Burns: It was my best joke of the week. Thanks Ruth. 

22/06/2016, 12:56:32: Fitzgerald Ruth: Brill! What'd you say about it? 

22/06/2016, 12:59:04: Sarah Burns: Olympic torch isn't going there. 

22/06/2016, 12:59:41: Fitzgerald Ruth: Ha! 

22/06/2016, 12:59:46: Kate Groves: Admin error? 

22/06/2016, 13:00:21: Kate Groves: Ha ha, I get the joke now. I'm so out of the circle. 

22/06/2016, 13:03:15: Sarah Burns: Here's hoping it sets fire to it on the way past though. 

22/06/2016, 13:03:38: Fitzgerald Ruth: Oh. Dear. That bad?? 

22/06/2016, 13:11:36: +44 7977 507079: I loved the Halley house joke. It got a lorra laughs 

22/06/2016, 14:58:47: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Gisele, I can't make the adventure playground this 

afternoon. Have to work. Sorry! 

22/06/2016, 15:01:41: Gisele Della Bella: No problem at all we can go another day I think I am still 

going as I want to teach by Jack how to climb a tree he is so heavy ( due the a mount of pasta he 

eats) that he can't bend his knee high enough and scared of it .. How can a 7 years old not been able 

to club a tree?!? I blame on the parents for keeping feeding carbo and the mum for taking him to 

many soft play kids mania trips !!!!

22/06/2016, 16:02:01: Gisele Della Bella: We are better more with the time occasion blablsbla 

22/06/2016, 16:15:21: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Beat the goalie sounds good. Billy would be up for running 

that? 

22/06/2016, 16:17:09: Sarah Burns: The kids do like beat the goalie. Zoe normally volunteers for it. 

Will billy do it? Gisele mum said Debbie told you the fair was cancelled? I think maybe she was talking 

about capoeira? 

167

168

22/06/2016, 16:19:56: Gisele Della Bella: Tea Debbie was talking about capoeira but I didn't give too 

much attention to not turn into a gossip war talk playground talk so I just played the game I didn't 

know but said yes capoeira is cancelled 

169

22/06/2016, 16:20:22: Gisele Della Bella: Yes I mean not tea

22/06/2016, 17:04:16: Sarah Burns: Ok great please let me know. 

22/06/2016, 17:06:01: Fitzgerald Ruth: Should we give Zoe first refusal? She's football queen and I 

think she enjoys the practice! Her team are 3rd in the UK for over 40s women, or something like 

that. 

22/06/2016, 17:06:12: Sarah Burns: She's away. 

22/06/2016, 17:06:28: Sarah Burns: Clare, ally, Zoe and Clea all away!! 

22/06/2016, 17:06:29: Fitzgerald Ruth: What?? How dare she. 

22/06/2016, 17:06:40: Fitzgerald Ruth: Noooo! 

22/06/2016, 17:06:48: Sarah Burns: They saw the date and booked an escape. 

22/06/2016, 19:35:50: Gisele Della Bella: Hi does anyone knows a good plumber ?! Another result of 

the cowboy builders we had . 

tonight the pipe work under the shower tray collapse and the water flooded all over the bathroom's 

underfloor which above the kitchen . 

So the electrics in the kitchen are in dangerous and ruined and the bathroom will have to be part 

destroyed to get it fixed! 

This is not I need before my long week plans :( 

I do feel right now Some people should be out Britain!!!

just bad timing but hey hey it is just a bathroom I couldn't care less at the current situation

23/06/2016, 09:50:28: +44 7977 507079: That would not be good 

23/06/2016, 09:50:38: Gisele Della Bella: I know she would cross everything !!! 

176

23/06/2016, 09:50:39: +44 7977 507079: She might cross the wrong box 

23/06/2016, 09:51:12: +44 7977 507079: And then it will be your fault if we leave

23/06/2016, 10:01:05: Fitzgerald Ruth: Today our lives really might be RUINED. Prophetic Evening 

Standard journo. 

23/06/2016, 10:02:17: Sarah Burns: Tomorrow will be the same as today. In a years' time that's 

when it will start to crumble. By then the right will be able to blame that crumbling on something else. 

23/06/2016, 10:02:45: +44 7977 507079: JESUS

23/06/2016, 10:03:33: Sarah Burns: This country doesn't deserve us. 

23/06/2016, 10:05:20: Kate Groves: Agreed. We need European asylum.

issues.

23/06/2016, 21:22:25: Fitzgerald Ruth: Loving BBC news app barely mentioning the election. Led 

Zeppelin did not steal Stairway. 

23/06/2016, 21:25:29: Fitzgerald Ruth: Am home alone with kids at my dad in laws. I opted not to 

join them at some village wine society gathering, for many reasons, one of which being dad in law 

voted like a dickhead as did most of his narrow-minded Hampshire village idiot mates. 

I'm tucking into his champagne. 

23/06/2016, 21:27:15: Gisele Della Bella: Go on Ruth drink it all and then fill the bottles back with 

washing liquid ! X

23/06/2016, 21:44:59: +44 7977 507079: Watch the elbows and ankles Sarah. Exfoliating is 

essential. And use a mitt. Not your hands. 

23/06/2016, 21:46:26: Sarah Burns: I'm testing them for work. Have never used it in my life. I've 

got a different one on each appendage. And orange hands. 

23/06/2016, 21:51:32: Gisele Della Bella: Bu what time do you think they can call it IN the winner? 

I know The oficial resulta not untill 6am ; but My eyes are near closing and I want to watch the 

results until at least 12 but I don't think I will last 10 mins :( 

23/06/2016, 21:53:22: Sarah Burns: I think it's about 3am. 

23/06/2016, 22:02:36: Fitzgerald Ruth: 7am guaranteed I think but way earlier unofficially if certain 

areas vote a certain way.

23/06/2016, 22:07:22: Gisele Della Bella: Bbc blue screen graphics didn't work it was a bit wired 

they got it right at the end 

23/06/2016, 22:07:48: Fitzgerald Ruth: I'm mocking the week for a bit of light relief. 

23/06/2016, 22:08:15: +44 7977 507079: I love Jeremy Vine and the crazy Downing Street

23/06/2016, 22:25:48: Gisele Della Bella: Or something like that ! In will win 

23/06/2016, 22:25:57: Josephine Goetlee: That was in Gibraltar 

23/06/2016, 22:26:12: Sarah Burns: Yes but that's not of the nation- I assume it means of those 

who registered to vote. 

23/06/2016, 22:26:34: Sarah Burns: Markets are surging. Suggestion is remain is going to take it. 

23/06/2016, 22:28:14: Gisele Della Bella: It is all about Remain!!! 

23/06/2016, 22:28:50: Sarah Burns: Turnout has been unprecedented though. They don't get this 

for a general election. 

23/06/2016, 22:30:15: Kate Groves: Please let it be remain. 

23/06/2016, 22:30:51: +44 7977 507079: Look now even Nigel says remain will win

23/06/2016, 22:31:27: Sarah Burns: Pound is strongest in nearly 30 yrs. this means the markets are 

predicting remain. 

23/06/2016, 22:31:32: +44 7977 507079: Apart from the bit about UKIP being around forever 

23/06/2016, 22:31:50: +44 7977 507079: Sarah you are so brainy with all your pound talk

23/06/2016, 22:32:28: Kate Groves: She is full of brains. I'm full of popcorn and wine.

whiskey? 

23/06/2016, 22:33:13: Sarah Burns: I never listen to radio 4 it's for old people. The markets are a 

good sign. I'm married to a banker. 

23/06/2016, 22:33:56: De Lucy: R h saying I am an old woman just cos I listen to the archers?

they are definitely saying remain... 

23/06/2016, 22:35:54: De Lucy: I will have to put away my wellies and laura Ashley stuff then. 

23/06/2016, 22:36:19: Sarah Burns:

23/06/2016, 22:39:24: Sarah Burns: The bookies and the FTSE have spoken. We should be ok ladies. 

I'm never ever going to forgive anyone I know who voted leave though. Not ever. 

23/06/2016, 22:39:50: Jacqui Daniels Mum: I do not know one person who voted leave. Not one!

23/06/2016, 22:40:01: Gisele Della Bella: I am very confident remain will in

23/06/2016, 22:40:37: De Lucy: Just remember we thought labour could swing it but the polls have 

been wrong before 

23/06/2016, 22:40:50: Gisele Della Bella: Lucy have you drunk the whole Baileys? 

23/06/2016, 22:41:16: De Lucy: Am about to Gisele I can't take the tension! 

23/06/2016, 22:41:39: Gisele Della Bella: I am not worried I know remain will win but now time to 

worry about this rain tomorrow is looking bad ! 

23/06/2016, 22:42:09: De Lucy: Met office says ok for london. R u in Wales? 

23/06/2016, 22:42:39: Sarah Burns: I was supposed to go out this evening with a friend who I last 

saw the night labour lost the election. I cancelled her.

23/06/2016, 22:43:32: Gisele Della Bella: I am going up to Solihull 

And I don't really like to drive in the heavy rain 

23/06/2016, 22:44:24: Jacqui Daniels Mum: I thought David was coming to pick you up? 

23/06/2016, 22:44:40: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Are you driving on your own? 

23/06/2016, 22:45:01: De Lucy: Stop texting Gisele if u r driving 

23/06/2016, 22:50:53: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Awesome bit in BBC at the moment. Hackney in top 40 

areas most likely to vote Remain. 

23/06/2016, 22:51:21: Jacqui Daniels Mum: On BBC news is what I meant. Got a bit overexcited... 

23/06/2016, 22:53:12: Kate Groves: I ❤ London. The rest of the nation I could forget about. 

23/06/2016, 22:53:19: Gisele Della Bella: Yes David has been up there for two days came back today 

but he didn't fade the drive back so the desk I will drive tomorrow :( 

23/06/2016, 22:53:34: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Actually 9th most likely to vote Remain... 

23/06/2016, 22:54:57: Gisele Della Bella: Lucy I am not going until the afternoon as David will do 

half day in the office tomorrow so I am fine and I can't sleep !!! 

23/06/2016, 22:55:24: Sarah Burns: Where I am from Havering is the first most likely to leave. 

This is why I hate Essex. 

23/06/2016, 22:56:19: Kate Groves: I'm sure Borehamwood is the same. appalled by the comments 

I've read today. 

23/06/2016, 22:58:25: Kate Groves: Grover has just actually pissed on our camp fire to put it 

out

24/06/2016, 03:20:49: Kate Groves: I am. 

24/06/2016, 03:21:24: De Lucy: I am 

24/06/2016, 03:24:49: Kate Groves: Feel sick. A flurry of leaves through. 

24/06/2016, 03:25:35: Sarah Burns: It's not looking good. Or do you think we might just swing it? 

24/06/2016, 03:28:09: Kate Groves: I really don't know. Most of London still to do, Bristol, Brighton 

etc 

24/06/2016, 03:29:10: Sarah Burns: The cities should all be remain. But suggestion is Birmingham will 

not. Unbelievable. 

24/06/2016, 03:32:10: Sarah Burns: Brexit has a 300k lead. That's so marginal. I might go back to 

sleep and hope that the mighty London will save the day. 

24/06/2016, 03:49:55: Gisele Della Bella: It looks sick but they haven't count the cities yet so it is 

not over yet ! Wait until they hit long in that number will fly up 

24/06/2016, 03:53:04: Gisele Della Bella: Oh no they have already counted a few boroughs in 

London :( and near 400k gap that is sick 

24/06/2016, 03:53:22: Gisele Della Bella: I didn't refresh my screen 

24/06/2016, 04:45:46: De Lucy: Goodnight ladies I give up now.. We failed miserably

24/06/2016, 06:32:55: Gisele Della Bella: The Bank of England will make an announcement this 

morning - this is bad to everyone especially these stupid small minded people who voted to leave ! 

24/06/2016, 06:34:07: Sarah Burns: Well now they can see what they have done. And they can't 

blame that on immigration. 

24/06/2016, 06:36:07: Gisele Della Bella: I am still shock i just can't believe it ! 

24/06/2016, 06:40:57: Sarah Burns: I am ashamed of this country.

24/06/2016, 06:46:00: Sophie Connies Mum: Oh my god I can't believe this fucking Cameron putting 

us in this position. What were people thinking? 

24/06/2016, 06:46:37: Sarah Burns: He's such a fucking coward. He only promised a referendum to 

win the ukip voters at the last election. 

24/06/2016, 06:47:15: Sarah Burns: Peter is in Germany. He's said 'black day' 

24/06/2016, 06:47:42: Sophie Connies Mum: Smug wanker thinking he could take the risk. Also how 

odd that Birmingham voted to leave. 

24/06/2016, 07:18:54: +44 7977 507079: Just woken up. Can't fucking believe it. 

24/06/2016, 07:21:55: Sophie Connies Mum: I know horrible way to wake up.

24/06/2016, 07:27:27: Sarah Burns: Nigel is calling for a bank holiday - Independence Day. I loathe 

this man. 

24/06/2016, 07:28:05: Sophie Connies Mum: In this terrifying alternate universe Farage will probably 

be the next prime minister 

24/06/2016, 07:30:31: Sarah Burns: On a positive note so great to have friends all on the same side. 

Go go mega mums! 

24/06/2016, 07:34:33: Sophie Connies Mum: Think we should be screening Passport to Pimlico for 

some tips on how to Annexe London. 

24/06/2016, 07:35:27: Sarah Burns: I'm all for it. This country doesn't deserve us. 

24/06/2016, 07:36:35: Sophie Connies Mum: Chloe what's your address? Iris wants to send her a 

postcard from Gloucester she's trying to come to terms with a Friday where we don't see her. No 

cafe with Lotte, leaving the EU the worlds gone mad! 

24/06/2016, 07:37:01: Gisele Della Bella: It never felt " so welcoming" being a immigrant today 

24/06/2016, 07:37:38: Sarah Burns: You're one of this country's greatest assets Gisele. 

24/06/2016, 07:39:28: Sarah Burns: No one can write a text message like you. No. One. 

24/06/2016, 07:41:13: Gisele Della Bella: Ahahha 

24/06/2016, 07:41:52: Gisele Della Bella: And the thought of going up to Birmingham ( Solihull ) 

tonight makes me creep ! 

24/06/2016, 07:42:32: Gisele Della Bella: I will never invest in a curry there anymore !!! ( they do 

have nice curry houses thou )! 

24/06/2016, 07:56:54: Jacqui Daniels Mum: What has this country done? So incredibly sad today. 

24/06/2016, 07:57:48: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Anyone around in London and fancy a coffee this 

morning? I could do with some cheering up. 

24/06/2016, 08:08:49: Sarah Burns: Actually the Birmingham vote is explained in that it had the 

highest turn out of voters in the uk rather than all of Birmingham votes to leave. 

201

24/06/2016, 08:09:00: Gisele Della Bella: I Would love a coffee but got the Plumer coming again at 

10 ( he fixed yesterday but when had a shower this morning there is a leak so annoying ) and Ebay 

kits to do on half open eyes as spent most of the night keeping an eye on results x 

24/06/2016, 08:10:19: De Lucy: I am around today and could really do with commiserating

24/06/2016, 08:13:02: +44 7977 507079: Awful 

24/06/2016, 08:13:10: Gisele Della Bella: She is 36 

24/06/2016, 08:15:50: Gisele Della Bella: Last one but it is killing me !!! 

24/06/2016, 08:15:59: Sarah Burns: We don't want her vote though anyway.

24/06/2016, 08:17:19: Kate Groves: My lovely Ava has been cheering me up. I feel so sad. 

24/06/2016, 08:17:47: Kate Groves: Oh god. Bethanie you idiot. 

24/06/2016, 08:18:16: Sarah Burns: Anyone who embraces Farage is an idiot. 

24/06/2016, 08:18:23: Kate Groves: She calls him fromage like it's cute. 

24/06/2016, 08:19:24: Gisele Della Bella: She is a good girl alwslys been so I do think she is winding 

me up badly !!!! I will have to find out thou to make sure ... 

24/06/2016, 08:20:12: De Lucy: Sarah get designing a poster for " london leaves uk" pls . We need 

to get this campaign started. Charlie is in bits this morning " it's a disaster !" 

24/06/2016, 08:20:21: Sarah Burns: I've already had two arguments with people on FB. 

24/06/2016, 08:21:30: Sarah Burns: Lucy - I was just talking to a guy in my road who is from 

Austria - he said London should separate from the uk! 

24/06/2016, 08:21:35: Kate Groves: I haven't looked on FB. Can't beat it. 

24/06/2016, 08:23:01: Sarah Burns: It's mostly full of our friends feeling gutted. Just a few 

arseholes 

24/06/2016, 08:24:11: Gisele Della Bella: David Cameron is pull out idiot after all !!!! 

24/06/2016, 08:24:16: Jacqui Daniels Mum: David Cameron just resigned. 

24/06/2016, 08:24:33: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Not with immediate effect but still. 

24/06/2016, 08:24:42: Gisele Della Bella: Is he serious ??!!! I bet he will move to Cannes! 

24/06/2016, 08:24:52: Sarah Burns: Great. Move in boris. 

24/06/2016, 08:25:07: Sarah Burns: As if this day could get much worse. 

24/06/2016, 08:26:04: Sarah Burns: It is totally all his fault though. Look what he has done. 

24/06/2016, 08:26:36: De Lucy: Trump is coming today hooray 

24/06/2016, 08:26:54: Kate Groves: For actual fucks sake. Although I expected it. He should have 

stuck by it. 

205

24/06/2016, 08:27:05: Kate Groves: Wanker. 

24/06/2016, 08:28:06: Sarah Burns: 'The pound has fallen off a cliff' I am quoting some financial 

chap in the news. 

24/06/2016, 08:28:41: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Pound will free fall. 

24/06/2016, 08:29:05: Sarah Burns: They're saying they've never seen anything like it. 

24/06/2016, 08:29:21: Sarah Burns: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-36611512 

24/06/2016, 08:29:51: Kate Groves: That's ok, cos people have got control back, like the good old 

days. 

24/06/2016, 08:30:49: Sophie Connies Mum: To cheer you all up my sister in law has had a baby girl 

this morning poor thing what a day to be born 

24/06/2016, 08:31:29: +44 7977 507079: Cheers Dave. 

24/06/2016, 08:31:41: Sarah Burns: Congrats! I'm out and about in dalston. People genuinely look 

shell shocked. 

24/06/2016, 08:31:49: +44 7977 507079: Fuck it all up and then he's off cause he can't steer the 

ship anymore 

24/06/2016, 08:32:11: Sarah Burns: It is totally his fault though. 

24/06/2016, 08:33:28: +44 7977 507079: He's such a ham faced arse. The man on the radio is 

saying he's leaving because it's the honourable thing to do. Honourable? Honofuckingrable? 

24/06/2016, 08:33:56: Jacqui Daniels Mum: He didn't have a choice. He was pushed. 

24/06/2016, 08:39:56: Sarah Burns: He had no choice because he promised this referendum to gain 

ukip voters during the election. And now look what he's done. It's not even 9am yet. This is going to 

be a very long day. 

24/06/2016, 08:42:40: Sarah Burns: Gisele looks like tunbridge wells voted remain :-) 

24/06/2016, 08:42:43: Sophie Connies Mum: Shows what smug complacent wanker a they are. Poor 

Northern Ireland what's this going to do to them. A border between Ireland and them is going to 

mean a return to violence 

206

24/06/2016, 08:42:48: Fitzgerald Ruth: Just left dad in laws. I was so angry with him. I asked if he 

genuinely doesn't feel worried and he couldn't answer. I can hardly type I'm so disgusted. His 

grandkids were round the breakfast table. How fucking dare he. What an arsehole. 

24/06/2016, 08:45:34: Sarah Burns: Some wanker has put on one of my posts that the south can 

make a break from the elites in Brussels. What the actual fuck is he talking about. I've obviously 

unfriended him. 

24/06/2016, 08:47:52: Fitzgerald Ruth: We're off to Isle of Wight for weekend and I can't even 

break a smile. Poor kids. I have to put sadness on hold. I literally hate my dad in law today. 

24/06/2016, 08:47:57: Sarah Burns: It's not all our in-laws Ruth. That's the problem. I'm not 

paying for my father in laws hip replacement when boris annihilates the NHS. He hasn't thought of 

that. Just worried about 'border control'. He's welcome to a new border in Wales that keeps him 

there. 

24/06/2016, 08:51:56: Sarah Burns: It's all in laws Ruth! Sorry typo. 

24/06/2016, 09:18:50: Fitzgerald Ruth: I can't snap out of my sadness. An seriously thinking of 

going into politics. 

24/06/2016, 09:19:34: Sarah Burns: The whole of London is inconsolable today. Everyone looks 

stunned. 

24/06/2016, 09:20:54: Susy Oscar Felix: Beyond devastated. How sad for our children. The biggest 

project in human co-operation - and we turn our backs. I'm just gutted. 

24/06/2016, 09:27:25: Sophie Connies Mum: Ruth you'd be brilliant 

24/06/2016, 09:30:35: Fitzgerald Ruth: I'd be useless. I keep crying and can't take sunnies off as 

don't want kids to see! 

24/06/2016, 09:31:53: Sarah Burns: Brilliant. We've just be downgraded on credit risk, which means 

gov borrowing is immediately more expensive, they'll have to make cuts. Gosh. Why didn't anyone 

think of this. 

24/06/2016, 10:27:40: Gisele Della Bella: Is there any a tiny little tiny good news lost somewhere on 

all of this ???? I can't find any good thing on my day today; the Plumer being 26 mins late, I 

already had an argument with David for the fact I don't want to go to his parents not only the 

pressure of his dad being in a hospital bed I will also have to hold back to stop making matters worst 

and not having argument to those who really think this was the best decision for Britain !! 

Day is dark today 

207

24/06/2016, 10:29:26: Gisele Della Bella: Jacquie and lucy did you guys end up going out?! I can't 

face staying in with the noise of braking pipes and walls so I may take Jack to the park for a bike 

ride and I can do with some fresh air in my mind ... Chloe are you around ?! 

The thing is I can only leave once he gets here and can tell me what will be his plans to fix it 

24/06/2016, 10:30:15: De Lucy: I have just texted her to see if she is free. We can come down 

your way to that cafe next to you if you want Gisele ? 

24/06/2016, 10:32:35: Jacqui Daniels Mum: I have a call now and then could come out around 11am. 

24/06/2016, 10:32:58: Gisele Della Bella: Let's go in the park so kids can run around the only thing 

the Plummer is not here yet !!!! 

24/06/2016, 10:34:45: Gisele Della Bella: Probably 11 would work as I hope he will be here by then 

and I can stay in the park for a couple of hours as got to go to the post office at some pint to send 

some orders out but I can do it later now I need a coffee and some fresh air ! 

So let's pencil from any time after 11am in the rose garden where the cafe is ok 

Lucy does that world for you ? 

24/06/2016, 10:39:13: De Lucy: Yes fine with me 


24/06/2016, 10:41:47: Gisele Della Bella: He arrived !!! 

24/06/2016, 10:47:16: Fitzgerald Ruth: My stupid privileged rich idiot cousin who posted on my FB 

comment lives in Dubai and probably didn't even vote. Stupid cow. Am ashamed she's in my family. 

24/06/2016, 11:01:03: De Lucy: 2016-06-24-PHOTO-00001294.jpg 

24/06/2016, 11:02:19: Fitzgerald Ruth: If anyone fancies replying to my cousin on FB with your 

informed intelligence pls do go ahead. 

24/06/2016, 11:04:18: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Sorry G and L, my call didn't go well. Looks like the 

potential buyer of a property of ours is using Brexit to renegotiate the price. Can't make it I am 

afraid. 

24/06/2016, 11:05:20: Fitzgerald Ruth: All the power has shifted. 

24/06/2016, 11:06:26: Kate Groves: And so it starts... 

208

24/06/2016, 11:09:55: Gisele Della Bella: No worries as I would have to he's back soon as Want to 

make sure the job has been finished properly 

24/06/2016, 11:10:33: Gisele Della Bella: I will have to come back soon as I have to sign off the job 

I mean 

24/06/2016, 11:10:54: Gisele Della Bella: Lucy are you coming ? 

24/06/2016, 11:11:26: Sarah Burns: Have you seen the Standard?! Londoners calling for London to 

become an independent state. Ladies, Lexit begins. 

24/06/2016, 11:19:05: De Lucy: We r in the park 

24/06/2016, 11:19:41: Gisele Della Bella: Where? 

24/06/2016, 11:19:59: De Lucy: Rose garden 

24/06/2016, 11:20:21: Gisele Della Bella: Ok coming now 

24/06/2016, 11:46:14: Fitzgerald Ruth: Sadly lexit would breed more hated and intolerance and 

divide the nation further. 

We can only spread love and unity now. Smiles all round and let Europe know we didn't mean it. 

24/06/2016, 12:01:32: Sarah Burns: I hate 52% of the nation. 

24/06/2016, 12:12:58: Sarah Burns: Breaking news; MPs submit motion of no confidence in Jeremy 

Corbyn. 


24/06/2016, 12:16:16: Gisele Della Bella: Now my day is over !! Why she has to be the naughtiest 

one ??!!! 



25/06/2016, 20:37:27: De Lucy: Petition: EU Referendum Rules triggering a 2nd EU Referendum 

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/131215 

25/06/2016, 20:58:29: Fitzgerald Ruth: We did it but don't think it'll do anything. 

209

I've not stopped thinking about all this since it happened. It really is like a death xx 

25/06/2016, 21:00:49: Kate Groves: Ruth, I feel exactly like that. A loss like death, when I think 

about it I cry. 

25/06/2016, 21:22:57: Sarah Burns: I am angry. Very angry. 

25/06/2016, 21:23:26: Jacqui Daniels Mum: I don't think it will work but it will be interesting to see 

what happens next. Neither Boris nor Michael Gove want to invoke Article 50. I see a big backpeddle. 

25/06/2016, 21:24:29: Jacqui Daniels Mum: I don't think they know what the fuck to do now. 

25/06/2016, 21:26:03: Sarah Burns: There is no plan. The only politician celebrating Brexit is 

Farage. And he's not even an MP. 

25/06/2016, 21:28:20: Jacqui Daniels Mum: No plan. They didn't think they would win. And now 

Cameron has gone they have to sort out the mess themselves. Not good for either of their political 

careers. Because if this goes horribly wrong, which is will, that is their legacy. Good luck you absolute 

morons. 

25/06/2016, 21:31:19: Sarah Burns: Exactly. Cameron has said his successor can do it, and it will be 

political suicide for his successor. I'm enjoying DM readers' comments though on the feature about 

how Brexit will now effect them. Because apparently no one told them before. 

25/06/2016, 21:34:17: Jacqui Daniels Mum: I am going to look that up now. Particularly enjoyed 

Donald Trump's comments in Scotland yesterday. 

25/06/2016, 21:36:37: Sarah Burns: Did you read that blog post I shared on FB. I can't stop 

reading it and laughing. Mind you, we won't be laughing if Trump gets in, it will literally be the end of 

the world as we know it. 

25/06/2016, 21:37:53: Jacqui Daniels Mum: One of the funniest things I have read. My Austrian 

friends showed it to me in the pub today and then I saw you shared it too. Hilarious. 

25/06/2016, 21:39:00: Fitzgerald Ruth: Absolutely hilarious. We read it in the rain driving round 

IoW and totally cheered us up. 

25/06/2016, 21:48:52: Fitzgerald Ruth: This is my old boss who I have immense respect for and 

followed the whole way though.. an interesting read: 

https://infacts.org/8-dos-donts-now-camerons-resigned/ 

210

25/06/2016, 21:51:47: De Lucy: Bloody good article ruth 

25/06/2016, 21:59:39: +44 7977 507079: How can they not have a plan? It's remarkable. Been in 

Norfolk all weekend with my friend Kate reading the papers and trying to understand it all. Dreading 

coming back to London frankly. (Even tho Norfolk is full of terribly racist brexiters) 

25/06/2016, 22:10:14: Fitzgerald Ruth: I had the most horrendous racist experience when i was at 

UEA.. Can't even commit it to type. Will tell you sometime. 

25/06/2016, 22:10:41: De Lucy: Over a beer 

25/06/2016, 22:12:10: Sarah Burns: London's the best place to be Chloe. Not many racist brexiters 

here. 

25/06/2016, 22:12:28: Sarah Burns: Well not as many. 

25/06/2016, 22:13:09: Kate Groves: I'm missing London being in racist, ungrateful Wales. But having 

a nice time with the fam. Back tomorrow. Hug me on Monday. 

25/06/2016, 22:13:55: Sarah Burns: Don't start me on Wales. I can't speak to my in- laws. 

25/06/2016, 22:14:40: Kate Groves: I cried in a cafe watching the news. They thought I was a fuck 

up. 

25/06/2016, 22:39:30: Jacqui Daniels Mum: On the brighter side, the NI fans at the Euro match 

against Wales today were singing "we voted remain, we voted remain, we're not stupid, we voted 

remain". 

25/06/2016, 22:42:40: Sarah Burns: When the country voted overwhelmingly for boaty mcboat face 

it was overturned on the basis it was so fucking stupid. What's the difference now? 

25/06/2016, 22:57:20: Jacqui Daniels Mum: That was funny. That is the difference. 

25/06/2016, 23:02:09: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Winston Churchill - "the best argument against 

democracy is a 5 minute conversation with your average voter." 

26/06/2016, 09:18:01: Sarah Burns: An economist who spoke at Peters bank recently against Brexit 

stated, as fact because he is an actual expert, that if we broke from the EU, it would take 10 yrs to 

renegotiate trade deals and questioned who would do it because there isn't actually anyone to do it. I 

had an argument on FB with two people recently, citing this fact as a reason to remain and they 

pretty much scoffed at this information suggesting it was total nonsense. Today's Telegraph; there 

are only about 12 civil servants that can renegotiate trade deals and we need hundreds of them. I 

also read somewhere else written post Brexit that it would take at least 7 yrs to do the work. It is 

211

taking all my might not to go back to these two people, who voted leave and show them these facts in 

print. 

26/06/2016, 09:20:56: Fitzgerald Ruth: Go back to them. They might sign the petition and change 

their mind? 

26/06/2016, 09:21:22: Sarah Burns: One of them lives in Essex. 

26/06/2016, 09:22:53: Sarah Burns: Peter is going to ring his dad in Wales today. Problem is he 

won' have read any post Brexit stuff so will still be happily sitting in ignorance, waiting for his hip 

replacement, moaning about the NHS. 

26/06/2016, 09:23:34: Sarah Burns: Thinking that border control is now all sorted. 

26/06/2016, 09:24:32: Sarah Burns: Missing the irony that his son has married not once but twice 

the children of immigrants. 

26/06/2016, 09:24:49: Sarah Burns: Well ok I'm second generation but you get my point. 

26/06/2016, 09:27:17: Fitzgerald Ruth: Tell him to keep calm! Peter, not your DiL. It's bloody hard. 

I'm sending my mum stuff to read as I can't speak to her. 

26/06/2016, 09:29:09: Sarah Burns: A great piece in the guardian today about a place in Wales 

which voted out but has no immigrants and has had more funding from the eu than anywhere else is 

the UK. 

26/06/2016, 10:10:02: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Agree on the trade agreements. Before the vote, a 

lecturer at Liverpool university who specialises in constitutional law and relations with the EU said that 

it would take 10 years to renegotiate these trade deals. But people are sick of experts, right? So 

who negotiates this for us. 

26/06/2016, 10:13:37: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Ok, I am going to try and enjoy my Sun without thinking 

about this again. Tomorrow will be shit given my company's share price plummeted on the NYSE 

because of its exposure to UK real estate. And the owner of the company phoned to ask me if we 

needed to relocate our offices out of London to Europe. So I may be out of a job in a couple of 

years. All great stuff. 

26/06/2016, 10:40:28: Fitzgerald Ruth: Let's enjoy Sunday and remember that there's more good in 

the world than bad and that the next generation are more engaged than ever and will fight a good 

fight xxxx 

26/06/2016, 10:42:58: Sarah Burns: Peter is back at the bank tomorrow and I will have a more 

accurate economic update than the papers provide. 

212

26/06/2016, 18:13:11: Sarah Burns: I'm dreading the school playground tomorrow. I feel guilty by 

association. I need a big badge that says I voted in. 

26/06/2016, 18:17:58: Fitzgerald Ruth: I think we'll be fine at our school. 

I felt guilty around the IoW whenever I saw EU tourists. I went out my way to try and show them 

(with just my face and only 10s) that I voted IN and that I was ashamed of my country and please 

don't think we're all ignorant xenophobes. 

26/06/2016, 18:21:27: De Lucy: 2016-06-26-PHOTO-00001356.jpg 

26/06/2016, 20:39:45: Kate Groves: Talking of school. Teachers strike on 5th July, saw Nicole in 

the park. 

26/06/2016, 20:40:36: De Lucy: And when were they going to tell the parents? 

26/06/2016, 20:40:59: De Lucy: Can anyone take Charlie for the day as I can't take time off 

26/06/2016, 20:41:05: Kate Groves: Think they found out late on Friday. 

26/06/2016, 20:41:05: Sophie Connies Mum: It only got announced on Friday I think 

26/06/2016, 20:56:09: Susy Oscar Felix: We can have Charlie no probs Lucy 

26/06/2016, 20:57:37: De Lucy: Thanks suzy that would be fab. Kids weren't in Friday though? 

26/06/2016, 20:58:20: Kate Groves: Teachers were. Inset day. Always working those teachers :) 

26/06/2016, 20:58:52: De Lucy: Could they text us then? 

26/06/2016, 20:59:45: Kate Groves: I'm sure they will tomo. 

26/06/2016, 21:01:58: +44 7977 507079: Ha! Indeed Kate. 

26/06/2016, 21:06:03: Jacqui Daniels Mum: NUT only announced the strike on Friday. I think we can 

forgive the teachers for not texting on the day, given what day it was. Sure a text will go out 

tomorrow. 

26/06/2016, 21:23:45: Sophie Connies Mum: The school will have to wait till all teachers have let the 

head teacher know if they intend to strike or not and then they have to look at staffing to see if the 

school can open or not so may not hear straight away depends how many teachers are in the nut and 

wether all of them are striking. Have to say seems like a terrible time to strike don't think it will 

have much impact and I don't have much appetite for it but what can you do? 

213

26/06/2016, 21:37:07: +44 7977 507079: I'm in the NUT. I'll be striking. 

26/06/2016, 21:37:25: +44 7977 507079: 

26/06/2016, 21:38:21: Sophie Connies Mum: Yes me too of course just such strange times 

26/06/2016, 21:40:02: Kate Groves: ✊ ✊ ✊ with ya sistas (if I were a teacher and not a lazy 

good for nothing agency douche bag) 

26/06/2016, 21:42:37: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Just heard from Nicole - she only found out on Friday 

from the BBC. She will speak to the Union rep tomorrow and let parents know asap. 

26/06/2016, 21:43:49: +44 7977 507079: It is a strange time to strike. But there will be more cuts 

to education (unless of course the 350million we were spending a week on the EU goes straight into the 

NHS and education like Boris said) and we need to stand up and tell them to Fuck Off. Loudly. Might 

take Theo on his first NUT March. Fancy it Sophie? 

26/06/2016, 23:22:36: Fitzgerald Ruth: I'm buying this because it is captures my up and down 

weekend. I cried for Jo Cox and her family and all she stood for, and Cold play just lifted my spirits

26/06/2016, 23:32:18: Fitzgerald Ruth: I promise I'll post something half funny and forward-looking 

from tomorrow! 

Thank you wonderful girls for this incredible outlet during this horrendous time. I've learnt a lot from 

you and I love that you don't judge when we're sad, angry, feeling worthy / unworthy or when we're 

just plain silly. 

What a beautiful bunch of people. 

I LOVE YOU ALL XXXX 

27/06/2016, 06:29:54: Sarah Burns: Sensational back peddling from Boris this morning - and it's not 

even 6.30 yet! 

214

27/06/2016, 06:51:46: Kate Groves: Well said Ruth. You guys gave me lots of support while I was in 

a van in a field in north wales. And I love you too. This is something we can share with all the outers, 

I've been thinking about how I deal with them over the coming days. 


27/06/2016, 07:11:18: Gisele Della Bella: I would send this to a few people but I am afraid their 

minds are so small but not even a child 's classic they would be able to understand ...x 

27/06/2016, 07:12:04: Gisele Della Bella: Kate do you fancy a lift this morning ? 

polar bear could be at yours for 8:37 

27/06/2016, 07:12:25: Gisele Della Bella: Osborn speech live on tv now 

27/06/2016, 07:15:47: Kate Groves: G, I'm tempted but I'm not going to yoga so it's the only 

exercise I'll get today. Thank you though. 

27/06/2016, 07:18:54: Gisele Della Bella: No worries see you late x 

27/06/2016, 07:25:14: Kate Groves: Can I change ny mind? I just looked out the window 

27/06/2016, 07:35:26: Sarah Burns: Said 48% of the population. 

27/06/2016, 07:35:55: Sarah Burns: 52 even. 

27/06/2016, 07:35:56: Fitzgerald Ruth: Ha!! Fab xx 

27/06/2016, 07:42:54: Gisele Della Bella: Yes off course I see you and if you change your mind again 

let me know by 8:30 no problem 

27/06/2016, 08:21:28: Kate Groves: GG, I'm off again, sun shining gonna walk, see you there ☀ 

27/06/2016, 08:24:04: Gisele Della Bella: See you true looks like a nice day for some morning fresh 

air see you there 

27/06/2016, 08:24:54: Sarah Burns: Kate do you want more biscuits for missy? 

27/06/2016, 13:51:56: Sarah Burns: Were they given any new spellings last week? 

27/06/2016, 13:54:23: De Lucy: No idea 

27/06/2016, 13:56:05: +44 7977 507079: How to stop Brexit: get your MP to vote it down

27/06/2016, 13:56:23: +44 7977 507079: Is this a thing? 

27/06/2016, 13:57:14: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Spelling - I don't think so as test is today. Will 

probably have new ones today. 

27/06/2016, 14:14:33: Gisele Della Bella: I think there was a spelling sticker on jacks book will take 

a pic for your later 


27/06/2016, 15:58:56: Gisele Della Bella: This is the last sticker in Jack's book .. So this should be 

this week's spelling - please could someone confirm ? Thanks 

27/06/2016, 16:13:19: Kate Groves: I was on bubble dribble rebel etc 

27/06/2016, 16:48:37: Sophie Connies Mum: Yes Chloe I'll go on the march maybe that's just what I 

need

27/06/2016, 20:06:57: De Lucy: Shame I thought he is happier with us. Guess we will find out at his 

birthday do? 

27/06/2016, 20:06:55: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Again, will ask her tomorrow. I don't think that is true 

though. Maybe just wishful thinking from Ethan, he misses his friends and I am not sure how well he 

has settled. 

27/06/2016, 20:08:51: Fitzgerald Ruth: Might not be true of course as it was one 7yr old boy to 

another.. 

27/06/2016, 20:09:37: +44 7977 507079: How can she keep moving him from school to school? 

Thought that was up to admissions? 

27/06/2016, 20:10:50: Jacqui Daniels Mum: It is but children of teachers have preference to have 

their kids at their school. 

27/06/2016, 20:11:20: Jacqui Daniels Mum: And she lives right next to Grazebrook so automatically 

gets in there. 

27/06/2016, 20:12:35: Fitzgerald Ruth: I'll ask Rids to clarify! 

27/06/2016, 20:13:18: Jacqui Daniels Mum: He probably said it, true or not. 

27/06/2016, 20:20:31: Sarah Burns: Out of the EU and out of the Euros by the look of it. 

27/06/2016, 20:25:58: Jacqui Daniels Mum: No spoilers. I am 15 mins behind... 

27/06/2016, 20:26:31: Gisele Della Bella: Luck you ! 


http://gu.com/p/4mmy5?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other 

27/06/2016, 21:19:43: Sophie Connies Mum: Maybe they've recently changed admission policy 

teachers used to have preference but then they took it away, mind you Iris has a full time nursery 

place because I teach in Hackney

28/06/2016, 10:38:34: Kate Groves: Are we taking acid? I'm in! 

28/06/2016, 10:38:57: Kate Groves: Obvs I know where we are going and I don't condone taking 

drugs. 

28/06/2016, 10:39:43: Fitzgerald Ruth: I've got to go to work. Will still take acid tho. 

28/06/2016, 10:39:48: Gisele Della Bella: Surprise surprise but it is a world where your imagination 

can fly and it is only a couple miles away 

28/06/2016, 10:40:13: Fitzgerald Ruth: Lucy, will work out our BH dates and let you know. Def not 

mid Aug tho as we're away. 

28/06/2016, 10:40:52: Gisele Della Bella: And the benefit of the trip is to create a beautiful world 

for 400+ smiling running crazy health children !!!!! 

28/06/2016, 10:41:43: +44 7977 507079: We're doing BH the first week after break up. And then 

on holiday til September! ☀☀☀☀☀ 

28/06/2016, 10:42:03: +44 7977 507079: What are you on about Gisele? 

28/06/2016, 10:42:03: Gisele Della Bella: Scrap trip anyone ?!? 

28/06/2016, 10:42:14: +44 7977 507079: OH

the summer fair x 

28/06/2016, 10:43:01: Gisele Della Bella: Anyone apart from Katie wants to take the offer ?! 

28/06/2016, 10:44:01: Gisele Della Bella: I know Chloe you mentioned before you would like to go but 

they are closed on Fridays I m afraid 

28/06/2016, 10:44:18: Gisele Della Bella: Late just checked we can't do after school drop off as 

they only open after 12 

28/06/2016, 10:44:28: Gisele Della Bella: How about 1ish ?! 

219

28/06/2016, 10:44:34: +44 7977 507079: Are they open in the evening? 

28/06/2016, 10:44:51: Gisele Della Bella: Nope they got very funny opening hours

allowed in 

28/06/2016, 10:46:43: Gisele Della Bella: Therefore I can only go Monday's or Wednesday 

28/06/2016, 10:50:38: +44 7977 507079: Has there been any news about the strike? 

28/06/2016, 10:51:24: Jacqui Daniels Mum: No. Nicole postponed because he daughter is ill but I will 

hopefully see her later today and will update you. Is your school shut? 

28/06/2016, 10:52:01: +44 7977 507079: Not sure. We are working out who is striking before they 

decide. 

28/06/2016, 10:52:26: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Shacklewell probably the same? 

28/06/2016, 17:09:33: Jacqui Daniels Mum: So strike is on but not for nursery as nursery teachers 

not striking so Nicole has to keep the school open. 

28/06/2016, 17:10:00: Jacqui Daniels Mum: And Ethan is not leaving but really wants to. 

28/06/2016, 17:10:10: Jacqui Daniels Mum: But he is staying. 

28/06/2016, 17:11:11: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Ms Cummings (?) and a new teacher are teaching Year 3 

next year. 

28/06/2016, 17:11:39: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Anyone know who Ms Cummings is? KS2 teacher I think. 

28/06/2016, 17:12:08: Sarah Burns: No idea. 

28/06/2016, 17:12:23: Jacqui Daniels Mum: But don't mention that outside the MMs just yet please. 

28/06/2016, 17:13:24: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Mr Heath to Year 1. 

28/06/2016, 17:14:07: Fitzgerald Ruth: MMs! Xx

latest ones. 

28/06/2016, 18:26:44: Kate Groves: Ah, goodo. 

226

227

28/06/2016, 18:58:17: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Daniel said Mr Heath said no swimming costumes 

tomorrow. Anyone else hear that? 

28/06/2016, 18:59:20: Jacqui Daniels Mum: And is there any maths? I haven't seen any this term? 

28/06/2016, 19:01:34: +44 7977 507079: I heard that too. Think they've laid off the maths now 

SATS are over! 

28/06/2016, 19:06:00: Josephine Goetlee: M&P said no swimmers...too much rain! Glad not to have 

maths, it was always a battle to get them to do it. 

28/06/2016, 19:17:32: Sarah Burns: I spoke with mr Heath this morning and he said no swimming. He 

said it was impractical. 

28/06/2016, 19:17:59: Kate Groves: No fun. 

28/06/2016, 21:02:05: +44 7977 507079: Does anyone know what time the kids get back from PP 

tomorrow? 

28/06/2016, 21:04:44: Gisele Della Bella: Hi I think it is normal time - 3:30 nothing else been said 

unless if I missed it 

28/06/2016, 21:07:37: Gisele Della Bella: Anyone knows?! 

28/06/2016, 21:24:10: Kate Groves: I think normal time. 

28/06/2016, 21:26:13: +44 7977 507079: Ok thanks ladies X 

29/06/2016, 12:50:14: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Just had a look at the teachers at Shack. No such 

person as Ms Cummings! Mea culpa. My next best guess is Ms Camlin. Year 5. 

29/06/2016, 13:04:24: Sophie Connies Mum: Connie really wants miss m who is in year 3 now to stay 

but doesn't sound like she is there is a miss Cullen not sure if she's a teacher though. 

29/06/2016, 13:07:34: Sarah Burns: Whomever she is/isn't Mr Heath is a hard act to follow. I'm 

only buying the class photo this year because he's in it ❤

29/06/2016, 13:08:55: Kate Groves: I didn't get the class photo, take a picture of it for me! 

29/06/2016, 13:09:25: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Did they have individual shots? 

29/06/2016, 13:09:59: Kate Groves: Class ones X 

29/06/2016, 13:13:11: Jacqui Daniels Mum: I am sure they did individual photos too in previous 

years? 

29/06/2016, 13:13:59: Sarah Burns: It aways just class ones this time of year. 

29/06/2016, 13:15:26: +44 7977 507079: Those lucky year one mums. I'm going to miss mr Heath 

29/06/2016, 13:15:47: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Ditto. 

29/06/2016, 13:18:47: Sophie Connies Mum: As lovely as Mr Heath is I still can't see it he'll be a 

great teacher to have as your first sit down and do lessons teacher. The individual photos were in 

October because it was just after Iris started nursery. 

29/06/2016, 13:45:03: De Lucy: Where is mr Heath going? 

29/06/2016, 14:05:43: Josephine Goetlee: Martha really wants Miss M too and P really wants Mr 

Cowdrill to return. 

29/06/2016, 15:00:37: Fitzgerald Ruth: I want mr spencer! 

29/06/2016, 16:10:35: Gisele Della Bella: Jacqui a big thank you !! 

I haven't had a proper laugh for quite a while and today it was so nice to just naturally laugh freely 

again without all the worries and bad news that surround our heads now...you made my day !!! x 

29/06/2016, 16:13:42: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Ha ha, Gisele, I am so glad my epic fail made you laugh. 

It made me laugh too. Lovely to catch up! 

29/06/2016, 16:17:54: Gisele Della Bella: We both seatting in the car eating biscuits & chatting as 

we were waiting for "the bus to arrive from paradise park" then after while as there was no one else 

outside the school we thought it would be better check inside and there was the teachers , Daniel and 

Jack waiting for us !! 

Silly thing but it was silly funny ! 

29/06/2016, 16:19:55: Fitzgerald Ruth: Haha! Brilliant! 

229

(What type of biscuits?) 

29/06/2016, 16:20:38: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Ms Mimi told me they were the first bus to leave and 

that the others were behind them. So, we sat in the car waiting... Delicious shortbread though! 

29/06/2016, 16:20:43: Gisele Della Bella: Delicious Shortbread 

29/06/2016, 16:21:34: Fitzgerald Ruth: Did they have a fine time? 

29/06/2016, 16:21:56: Gisele Della Bella: The funniest thing there was literally no one left outside 

the school so then we thought - let's go and check then .. 

29/06/2016, 16:22:32: Gisele Della Bella: Jack loved it ; I don't think they got much rain as Jack 

hadn't mention it much 

29/06/2016, 16:22:45: Gisele Della Bella: Hasn't 

29/06/2016, 17:59:19: Susy Oscar Felix: Oh god reading this has really made it hit home that the 

twins won't be in year 3 with you guys. Sob! 

29/06/2016, 18:03:14: Susy Oscar Felix: If your kiddos can make it to the twins birthday on Sunday 

17th do let me know :) & looking forward to summer drinks next Fri. Where are we going? 

29/06/2016, 18:05:04: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Not to late to change you mind Susy.... Right now Leave 

is just not cool. 

29/06/2016, 18:08:05: Fitzgerald Ruth: Harsh Jacqui!! 

We can't make the party in afraid Susy. 

29/06/2016, 18:10:09: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Wasn't meant to be harsh in any way, Ruth, was trying 

to say we didn't want them to go. 

29/06/2016, 18:10:44: Fitzgerald Ruth: Oh I know! I was also joking. Sorry xxxxx 

29/06/2016, 18:11:24: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Xxxxx 

29/06/2016, 18:16:14: Susy Oscar Felix: Haha I promise us moving is not Brexit related! There's 

too much leaving going on right now. Thank god where we are going voted remain x 

29/06/2016, 18:33:12: Kate Groves: We can come to the twins party! 

29/06/2016, 18:33:56: Kate Groves: And I can defo do mega mum drinks next Friday 

230

29/06/2016, 18:35:56: Sophie Connies Mum: We can come to sorry I'm so bad at remembering to 

reply to party invites xx 

29/06/2016, 18:44:00: Sarah Burns: Yes to party. 

29/06/2016, 19:02:14: +44 7977 507079: We can come! Sorry for not replying. I do these things in 

my head and then forget to do it in real life. Ok next Friday! Hooray for Kate coming! Shall we go to 

Apollo for Pizza and then to a stokey pub? Low key and cheapish. Summer is expensive dammit! 

29/06/2016, 19:27:49: Fitzgerald Ruth: Yeah perfect. 

29/06/2016, 19:36:49: Kate Groves: They have an outdoor area at Apollo now. If the sun is out we 

can do al fresco. 

29/06/2016, 19:41:58: +44 7977 507079: If the sun is out

29/06/2016, 21:03:55: Gisele Della Bella: I am out tonight I meant ... 

29/06/2016, 21:07:15: +44 7977 507079: Theo goes to bed at 8 but reads. He's probably still 

awake up there. I am very fierce if they try to come down. Basically a bitch. This is MY time now. 

29/06/2016, 21:09:14: Gisele Della Bella: How long would you take to training my kids pleaseeeeee 

29/06/2016, 21:09:38: Gisele Della Bella: And not having them jumping in my bed at 3am 

29/06/2016, 21:14:29: +44 7977 507079: Oh no Lotte comes into bed with me every morning at 

precisely 4.35. 

29/06/2016, 21:15:36: Fitzgerald Ruth: Give them to me for a night and they'll never go near you 

between 8pm and 7am again. 

29/06/2016, 21:16:10: Fitzgerald Ruth: OR THEY GET IT. Big time. 

29/06/2016, 21:16:39: +44 7977 507079: This is true. I think it's Lotte's turn to sleepover with 

you, Rids and Sleur. 

29/06/2016, 21:17:22: Sophie Connies Mum: So funny how they always wake at the same time mad 

little body clocks. Mine are fine about going to bed but we're in bed wetting hell with Connie still. God 

the first time ever she's in with us every night it's getting me down nightmare washing bedding every 

day in this weather. 

29/06/2016, 21:20:03: Sarah Burns: Oh poor Connie. :-( 

29/06/2016, 21:23:04: Sophie Connies Mum: I know she gets upset about it to be honest she's too 

good a sleeper she's always slept so deeply she just doesn't wake up. Oh well my mum loves to tell me 

I was the same and it's genetic think it's pay back for her good sleep as a baby

30/06/2016, 13:23:40: Fitzgerald Ruth: Fleur thought she was. 

30/06/2016, 13:24:35: Sarah Burns: No time to rehearse anything - I've said we'd gladly have 

whatever they did at the singing thing but he said they didn't learn full songs or some such reason. 

30/06/2016, 13:26:50: Fitzgerald Ruth: 2016-06-30-VIDEO-00001569.mp4 

30/06/2016, 13:27:41: De Lucy: Back to me Pickett 

30/06/2016, 13:28:11: Fitzgerald Ruth: He played the drums as the festival. 

30/06/2016, 13:28:16: Fitzgerald Ruth: At 

30/06/2016, 13:29:07: Fitzgerald Ruth: There are 3 music teachers across the federation and all the 

kids know all the songs. Riddy could join in as well. 

30/06/2016, 13:31:02: Fitzgerald Ruth: 2016-06-30-VIDEO-00001574.mp4 

30/06/2016, 13:32:03: Sarah Burns: I think he means they only learnt various harmonies. 

30/06/2016, 13:32:17: Fitzgerald Ruth: There are songs that all the kids at Shack know, we could 

hand out lyrics and all join in. 

30/06/2016, 13:33:31: Fitzgerald Ruth: Nonsense of course they all know the full songs whether they 

know the various harmonies as well or not. 

I think it's about availability. 

30/06/2016, 13:33:37: Kate Groves: I can't lead the conga. 

30/06/2016, 13:34:01: Kate Groves: I'm too shy 

30/06/2016, 13:34:08: Fitzgerald Ruth: No time to practice? 

30/06/2016, 13:34:24: Sarah Burns: I'm sorry I don't have time to argue with mr haswell. 

30/06/2016, 13:34:39: Susy Oscar Felix: Olivia - Italian mum of Leonardo & Oscar? She's a singer 

30/06/2016, 13:34:58: Susy Oscar Felix: Can I help run a stall or something? 

30/06/2016, 13:35:13: Susy Oscar Felix: I can do terrible face painting too 

233

30/06/2016, 13:35:47: Fitzgerald Ruth: Yes totally understand Sarah. Do you think I can take it up 

with him or is that too annoying of us? 

30/06/2016, 13:35:53: Sarah Burns: That would be great yes please to face painting! 

30/06/2016, 13:36:23: Fitzgerald Ruth: I'll ask Olivia. 

30/06/2016, 13:37:16: Sarah Burns: Ruth I will forward my email chain, happy for you to chat with 

him. I think the issue is that even though I asked school ages ago they've probably only just asked 

him. They need to employ me a demon administrator to get things done ;-) 

30/06/2016, 13:37:42: De Lucy: Can someone Dj carnival type music. ? Surely Alex knows dj s as he 

works in Music? 

30/06/2016, 13:37:56: De Lucy: What's happening with food stalls ? 

30/06/2016, 13:38:17: Fitzgerald Ruth: Thx Sarah. Think I can sort a dj. Leave with me. 

30/06/2016, 13:39:10: De Lucy: With decks and everything? Fat boy slim perhaps ? 

30/06/2016, 13:45:51: Sarah Burns: Amazing yes please Ruth. 

30/06/2016, 13:46:39: Sarah Burns: Lucy for food we have jollof rice, Indian and Mauritian food. 

Waiting on another person to confirm. 

30/06/2016, 13:47:06: De Lucy: Cheap chicken dishes? 

30/06/2016, 13:47:23: Sarah Burns: Jollof comes with chicken. 

30/06/2016, 13:50:22: Sarah Burns: Thanks Team! 

30/06/2016, 14:48:32: Fitzgerald Ruth: Olivia is on the case with possibly singing and going to ask 

her DJ mate for music (she's a mum at school and and had done it before). 

30/06/2016, 14:49:34: Sarah Burns: Yes I think Marco Dj-d last year. Thanks amazing X 

30/06/2016, 14:50:27: Fitzgerald Ruth: Yes she's gonna ask him too. I said ideally carnival tunes 

30/06/2016, 15:07:20: Sarah Burns: Frankly I'd settle for anything at this stage. :-) 

30/06/2016, 15:36:18: Fitzgerald Ruth: Sarah hand over anything else that one of us can sort. 

You've got waaaaaaay too much to do. I feel like I've been useless and unhelpful. Xxx

30/06/2016, 15:36:51: Fitzgerald Ruth: Then you can free up time to run for PM. 

30/06/2016, 15:40:34: +44 7977 507079: Yes now BoJo is out of the running. 

30/06/2016, 15:41:57: Sarah Burns: Ha ha thanks Ruth. I'm sure I'm no more busy than anyone else 

but appreciate all help. I emailed you last week about drink ideas - did you see it? 

30/06/2016, 15:42:50: Sarah Burns: And when I'm PM we will burn all racist scumbags wicker man 

style. 

30/06/2016, 15:53:15: Fitzgerald Ruth: Oh shit yes sorry forgot to respond. Will email. 

30/06/2016, 20:30:08: Josephine Goetlee: Are Year 2 kids to wear PE kit on Fridays or take it in 

their bags....I'm getting conflicting answers from M&P! 

30/06/2016, 20:30:59: Kate Groves: I usually send Ava wearing hers on a fri, saves on the washing. 

30/06/2016, 20:31:50: Fitzgerald Ruth: Moi aussi 

01/07/2016, 14:07:04: Jacqui Daniels Mum: MMs. Next week we are voting for Parent Governors for 

the Federation. New government rules say that between the 3 schools, we can only have 2 parent 

governors, so it's really important to vote so we make sure Shacklewell gets one. Please can you all fill 

in your ballot papers (coming out Wed) and vote. Looks like we will only have 1 candidate, which makes 

it easy. Please can you also share with parents in other year groups if you can. Thank you. 

01/07/2016, 14:07:42: Sarah Burns: Who's the candidate? 

01/07/2016, 14:08:39: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Dominic Young 

01/07/2016, 14:14:25: Kate Groves: Axelle's husband? 

01/07/2016, 14:15:07: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Yes. 

01/07/2016, 14:15:27: Jacqui Daniels Mum: I like him. He is clearly bright and motivated to help the 

school. 

02/07/2016, 09:41:24: De Lucy: Is the camping trip in September going ahead? If not would like to 

know to organise Charlie's birthday party as it's the first week we get back in sept. Any confirmed 

plans ? 

02/07/2016, 22:48:22: Gisele Della Bella: I want to go to bed !!! Italy x Germany is killing me 

235

02/07/2016, 23:11:36: Jacqui Daniels Mum: So far, no Arsenal player had scored a penalty in this 

tournament. Xhaka missed 1, Ozil missed 2.

04/07/2016, 10:10:55: Susy Oscar Felix: We will be there - Oscar, Felix & Charlie - see you at 11.

04/07/2016, 16:23:52: +44 7977 507079: Mega mumz (I think we need the Z) do we need to book a 

table at Apollo? Kate you are they queen of this place- what do you think?

yet. 

04/07/2016, 17:21:46: Sarah Burns: Gisele did you go to scrap today? 

04/07/2016, 17:24:45: Josephine Goetlee: We are around for that September weekend Lucy. 

Re. Apollo, I just need to check whether our friends are arriving on Fri or Sat... 

04/07/2016, 17:41:43: Gisele Della Bella: Hi Sarah no scrap today ; everyone is so silly busy with 

work etc and the strike didn't help as people can't take much time off at the moment really - I can 

go on Wednesday if anyone can come along too. Or next Monday if easier to plan ahead ... 

Unfortunately my storage room is packed with boxes for the move so whatever we get in scarp will 

need to be kept at someone's else ... Anyone fancy a trip and also has space for a few bits? Thanks 

04/07/2016, 17:42:27: Sarah Burns: I can't come but you can leave everything at mine no problem. 

04/07/2016, 17:50:50: Gisele Della Bella: How about put a note on face book page asking for 

volunteers ? 

04/07/2016, 19:23:21: Kate Groves: What time on weds GG?

unusual foods ! 

04/07/2016, 20:28:16: De Lucy: Ostrich eggs for eg? Yams ,durian fruit! 

04/07/2016, 20:28:22: Sophie Connies Mum: They'd love to see him on the telly 

04/07/2016, 20:28:44: Sarah Burns: I'm giving 10 Shacklewell kids the opportunity to guest edit the 

spark & fuse blog. I have no idea how to manage children in any environment let alone school. Will be

04/07/2016, 20:31:35: Susy Oscar Felix: Hahaha 

04/07/2016, 20:31:59: Susy Oscar Felix: As you can see, drugging the twins hasn't exactly been a 

success! 

04/07/2016, 20:33:27: Kate Groves: I just called Apollo. We can have a table at 8 but only for 

1.5hrs or from 9, all night. What you reckon?

04/07/2016, 20:36:49: Susy Oscar Felix: Yup 

04/07/2016, 20:38:43: Kate Groves: Cool xx

difference unless we have hundreds as and they are not carnival things .. 

06/07/2016, 15:40:06: Sarah Burns: I have some bunting and there may be a bit on the cupboard. 

Ally has lots I will ask her if she can lend it to us. How about garland paper chains? Easy to make? 

06/07/2016, 15:41:06: Susy Oscar Felix: We have lots of bunting too. Yes to face painting, glitter 

jewels sounds good, shinier the better really. 

06/07/2016, 15:42:05: Susy Oscar Felix: Maybe we won't put the pictures up this time on face 

painting stand? Mine end up looking nothing like them and a few parents complained!!! :) lol 

06/07/2016, 15:43:05: Sarah Burns: Any particular colours you'd like? Sophie suggested carnival 

cheek swirls rather than full on war paint. No photos required! 

06/07/2016, 15:44:01: Susy Oscar Felix: Red blue green yellow white pink purple silver gold sorry 

that's all of the colours 

06/07/2016, 15:48:38: Sarah Burns: That's literally every colour in the world ;-) I will get them for 

you. 

06/07/2016, 16:24:36: Gisele Della Bella: With lots of Bunting it will look nice ; I never made 

garlands; they may be easy but we are all so busy that with just a few garlands it may be impossible 

to make a impact and we would need lots so I think we could achieve that with the already made 

buntings ... 

Unless someone got spare time to make lots of them ... Anyone ?! Sarah has lots tissue paper .... 

06/07/2016, 16:25:15: Sarah Burns: Rachel Evans might be able to do this. I'll ask her 

06/07/2016, 16:27:38: Sophie Connies Mum: Definitely silvers and golds and then a range of colours 

glitter would be great and brushes to put it on with and a couple of cheap mirrors? I think swirls 

coming off each eye if you know what I mean rather than whole face. Thanks Sarah let me know if 

you want me to get any of it. 

06/07/2016, 16:49:21: Fitzgerald Ruth: European Flag! 

06/07/2016, 16:56:49: Sarah Burns: Sophie - what could you pick up? I need all the help I can get 

at the moment 

06/07/2016, 17:16:52: Fitzgerald Ruth: Shall we start selling raffle tix soon? Like Friday? 

265

06/07/2016, 17:18:02: Sarah Burns: Yes. Clare has created them. I will email to whomever can print 

out. Prizes are still coming in but I can do a vague list of stuff. It's a pretty fab selection 

06/07/2016, 17:19:27: Susy Oscar Felix: I can get face painting stuff if you need? No probs 

06/07/2016, 17:21:12: Fitzgerald Ruth: Email some to me,'will do tomo and can sell Friday. We need 

to tap up our relos (the ones we're still talking to) and colleagues. 

06/07/2016, 17:22:49: Sophie Connies Mum: Shall I get some cheap mirrors and brushes and sponges 

and you get the paints Suzy? 

06/07/2016, 17:22:55: Fitzgerald Ruth: Steve trying to get M&S stuff 

06/07/2016, 17:23:22: Sarah Burns: Yes please to all the above. Thanks team. 

06/07/2016, 17:24:41: Fitzgerald Ruth: He'll prob just get stuff for tombola tho. 

06/07/2016, 17:26:03: Sarah Burns: That's still great. I think we made a shed load on the tombola 

last year. Susy ran the stall - is that right Susy? Weren't some kids buying loads of tickets? 

06/07/2016, 17:26:57: Fitzgerald Ruth: We need people to donate the prizes, think we needed more 

last year. 

06/07/2016, 17:27:27: Sarah Burns: Ok. I'll do a FB post tonight. Ask around if you can too 

06/07/2016, 18:09:32: Kate Groves: I should be getting stuff from my friend who works at visa, not 

ball / trophy quality. Will chase her up. 

06/07/2016, 18:10:36: Sarah Burns: Fab :-) 

06/07/2016, 18:21:58: Susy Oscar Felix: The tombola was intense! People bought loads of tickets. 

Some got a bit upset because there were so many in the barrell thingy. But it was busy yes. Toiletries 

and food were popular prizes. 

06/07/2016, 18:22:08: Susy Oscar Felix: Sophie - I will buy paints yes 

06/07/2016, 18:22:54: Fitzgerald Ruth: People go mental for a tin of baked beans. 

06/07/2016, 18:23:26: Fitzgerald Ruth: SB am happy to do the FB post if you like? 

06/07/2016, 18:35:05: Gisele Della Bella: Kate and I are planning a trip on Tuesday or we'd next 

week to scrap in case someone would like to come and can plan ahead ... So keep that in mind 

whatever you may need for a stall etc 

266

06/07/2016, 21:18:39: Gisele Della Bella: Can anyone print A3 posters? I could then laminate the 

posters at school and then we can all have a couple of posted ready to hang around locally on your 

daily walk to school .... 

06/07/2016, 21:19:29: Sarah Burns: Jo can - she's printed loads of a4 for you to go up though. 

They're at the office. Can you use those instead please? 

06/07/2016, 21:31:24: Gisele Della Bella: I see - when did she left them there ? As I already done 

some which are up.. But wasn't enough to go around the area so I only put up in the school 

Ok so I will laminate them and share around so people can hang to their away to or from the school .. 

06/07/2016, 21:33:10: Sarah Burns: Great thanks. I think they are there. I will check, I asked her 

to print 10. Do you have her phone number, can you text her? 

06/07/2016, 21:37:57: Gisele Della Bella: Is Jo - Patric & Martha ?!if so yes I do will ask her no 

worries 

06/07/2016, 21:38:23: Sarah Burns: Yes :-) 

06/07/2016, 23:07:53: Josephine Goetlee: Hi G I shall print some more tomorrow and will do some A3 

too. 

07/07/2016, 07:26:28: Jacqui Daniels Mum: MMs, ballot papers are out for Governor elections. Each 

parent can vote but they have only given one ballot paper per household. Please get an extra one from 

Betty. You can vote for 2 candidates per ballot paper. Shacklewell candidates are Dominic Young and 

Perry Francis. Please vote! 

07/07/2016, 07:28:21: Fitzgerald Ruth: Can we vote for Dom twice? 


07/07/2016, 07:51:45: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Right, so we were worried that lots of parents from 

other schools would come forward. But only 1 did. So there are 2 places and 3 candidates, 2 of which 

are from Shacklewell. So we are guaranteed a place. 

07/07/2016, 07:52:58: Jacqui Daniels Mum: We didn't know that another SW parent would come 

forward. But the fact one has is great. And you can vote for 2 candidates per ballot paper, so I am 

voting for the 2 Shacklewell candidates. 

07/07/2016, 07:53:46: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Perry is a new parent. His child will join in Sept. He is 

very keen and enthusiastic, met him at the Teddy Bear picnic. 

07/07/2016, 07:56:23: Jacqui Daniels Mum: And if we get lots of people to vote, it is possible we 

could get both governor places. 

07/07/2016, 07:56:47: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Ruth, how did Steve's talk go? 

07/07/2016, 08:02:26: Fitzgerald Ruth: I like the sound of Perry. Incredibly keen if he's not at 

school yet. Will vote for both I think. 

07/07/2016, 08:03:29: Fitzgerald Ruth: Steves talk went well I think, Rory said the kids were 

buzzing at break time. Only a few kids though as most of year 5 were on bike-around-the-borough! 

07/07/2016, 08:09:32: Gisele Della Bella: With the ballot papers there is a statement from each 

candidate just read and the guy from grazebook - Mathew is very strong in hackney learning trust ! 

But Perry i felt he fresh for the hackney enveriment job as he comes from Hatfield and got good 

experience working with kids project - he will get my vote 

I am afraid I don't have the same views as young 's family so no "x" from me ... 

Good morning trading thou 

07/07/2016, 09:00:12: Gisele Della Bella: Posters- thanks Jo I done all from the first batch now 

thanks for promoting some more will get them laminate too 

07/07/2016, 14:45:51: Susy Oscar Felix: I'm sorry to ask this over here but could anyone pick up 

twins on Thursday July 21st until about 6pm? We are exchanging on that day and have to drive to out 

of London solicitors. Thanks in advance! Xx 

07/07/2016, 15:19:34: Gisele Della Bella: Sorry Suzy I can't help as I will be a few 6,013 miles 

away x 

07/07/2016, 16:04:31: +44 7977 507079: I'll be in Crete! Soz X 

268

07/07/2016, 16:05:52: De Lucy: I can pick them up! I will put in diary is it 330 finish? 

07/07/2016, 16:44:54: Sophie Connies Mum: Shut it you two with your sunny holidays!

07/07/2016, 20:02:33: +44 7977 507079: I feel Mr Heath is pretty low key with assemblies quite 

frankly 

07/07/2016, 20:02:44: Sarah Burns: I only found out about it through chance. It wasn't on a 

newsletter. 

07/07/2016, 20:03:10: Sarah Burns: Jacqui did you speak to miss King? I had a word with her sounds 

like was an ordeal. 

07/07/2016, 20:03:54: Sophie Connies Mum: Very true Chloe it's about their trip to paradise park 

07/07/2016, 20:04:22: +44 7977 507079: The trip that Theo missed! He is still rather excited about 

it all tho 

07/07/2016, 20:04:50: Jacqui Daniels Mum: She sent me a message 

07/07/2016, 20:05:36: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Sounds like they wouldn't let her submit the cases I 

found for her, but I don't know why. 

07/07/2016, 20:05:45: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Am meeting up with her tomorrow. 

07/07/2016, 20:05:59: Fitzgerald Ruth: Well you might Mr Heath but Miss Johnsons assemblies are 

legendary! We had slow mo running and fake fighting last time.. 

07/07/2016, 20:06:08: Sarah Burns: Because she was supposed to submit the paperwork 5 days in 

advance. And she didn't. 

07/07/2016, 20:06:13: Fitzgerald Ruth: Chloe will send babysitter x 

07/07/2016, 20:08:22: Jacqui Daniels Mum: You are kidding me. Why didn't she? 

07/07/2016, 20:10:20: Sarah Burns: I have no idea!! They wouldn't let her read the paperwork, I 

asked her why and she said it was supposed to be submitted in advance. I think she still used the 

cases to argue though. 

07/07/2016, 20:10:57: Sarah Burns: I had quite a hurried conversation with her so I might have 

misunderstood. Don't quote me. 

07/07/2016, 20:11:29: De Lucy: What paperwork what cases? I am confused! Are we in trouble with 

miss King? 

07/07/2016, 20:12:30: Sarah Burns: It's detention all round. 

270

07/07/2016, 20:13:38: Gisele Della Bella: And I thought it was only me who was completely lost on 

Sarah & Jacquie conversation .... 

07/07/2016, 20:14:01: Gisele Della Bella: What the hell you both are go on about ??? :( 

07/07/2016, 20:14:12: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Ms King's daughter didn't get into Shacklewell and I 

helped her with her appeal. 


07/07/2016, 20:15:16: Sarah Burns:

07/07/2016, 20:27:17: Sarah Burns: Let me know what she says. 

07/07/2016, 20:33:46: Gisele Della Bella: After this new all I need tonight is to Germany to win :( 

07/07/2016, 20:34:54: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Why don't you want Germany to win? 

07/07/2016, 20:35:01: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Think Ozil.... 

07/07/2016, 20:35:16: Jacqui Daniels Mum: On the other hand, think Giroud... 

07/07/2016, 20:44:21: Gisele Della Bella: Think of what happened with Brazil in the World Cup 

buuuuuaaaaa ( that is me screaming!). 

07/07/2016, 20:45:01: Jacqui Daniels Mum: I thought that is what it may be. I think I heard the 

screaming that night from my house... 

07/07/2016, 20:46:40: Gisele Della Bella: I went to bed after the 3rd goal it was far too 

embarrassed to watch ... 

07/07/2016, 20:46:46: Gisele Della Bella: French penalty ?!? 

07/07/2016, 20:47:13: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Again, I am 15 mins behind. Will be caught up at half 

time... 

07/07/2016, 20:47:27: Gisele Della Bella: SORRY 

07/07/2016, 20:47:51: Gisele Della Bella: BUT HAVENT MENTIONED THE OUTCOME SO .... 

07/07/2016, 20:48:00: Jacqui Daniels Mum: That's ok. I should have said... 

07/07/2016, 20:48:50: Gisele Della Bella: I tried to do that before watch 15mins behind but I can't 

hold myself and wait 

:( anyway enjoy 

07/07/2016, 20:49:49: Jacqui Daniels Mum: I love the anthems so always put the game on pause and 

get the kids to bed and then start... Billy hates it. He is the same as you! 

07/07/2016, 23:13:24: +44 7977 507079: Ok mega mums. Still need a bloody babysitter. All hands 

on deck please. Otherwise I'll be sitting at home on my own tomorrow night instead of drinking with 

you lot! 

08/07/2016, 05:52:06: Kate Groves: Did you try Steph? I've given you her deets before 

272



08/07/2016, 07:12:39: De Lucy: Gisele have you used Cheyenne? I need a babysitter for 23 rd. How 

much does she charge? 

08/07/2016, 07:13:44: De Lucy: If you can't get a babysitter Chloe we should all come to you 

instead? There will be a solution! 

08/07/2016, 07:22:50: Gisele Della Bella: Not used her but may do next week if she is free she is 

one of the older kids leaders in the scout if she can put up with all theses kids I am sure she is 

ok ... Also def trust Skip and for him to recommend her means she is good 

08/07/2016, 07:46:35: Fitzgerald Ruth:

sell (many due to fizz last night). Anyone up to helping me or shall we wait till Monday? 

08/07/2016, 15:26:19: +44 7977 507079: Soz in mad prep for Lottes party! 

08/07/2016, 15:52:36: Sarah Burns: Peter visited year 3 to discuss independent price verification at 

banks. It sounds like the children spent a lot of time asking how much their bikes were worth

08/07/2016, 18:18:44: Fitzgerald Ruth: I love you two! Xx

meet you there on on the way

small shrieky girls around your house for the last two hours.

I am the only immigrant here :( 

09/07/2016, 17:42:23: Sophie Connies Mum: I know Ruth she always gets my child minder to have 

one too 

09/07/2016, 18:36:13: Sarah Burns: Ruth - great photo! 

10/07/2016, 11:57:37: +44 7977 507079: Hey Mega mums. I don't know if I told you this in my 

slightly drunkard state on Friday but I haven't told the kids about the move yet so please don't tell 

your kids! It would be awful if it didn't come from me but i don't want to tell them til September! 

Happy Sunday y'all X 

10/07/2016, 11:58:52: De Lucy: We heard you loud and clear on Friday. Am keeping schtum 

10/07/2016, 15:14:43: Kate Groves: Ditto xxx 

10/07/2016, 15:15:18: +44 7977 507079:

10/07/2016, 17:02:30: De Lucy: He did it!! 

10/07/2016, 17:11:20: De Lucy: And Cameron got booed!! 

10/07/2016, 17:17:32: Sarah Burns: Would loved to have seen that (the booing) hope it makes the 

news. 

10/07/2016, 17:19:28: De Lucy: Awks! 

10/07/2016, 17:31:17: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Murray. Like him but he always manages to say the 

wrong thing. First it was not supporting the English, now it's supporting Cameron. 

10/07/2016, 17:32:42: +44 7977 507079: No I think he mentioned Cameron so everyone would boo 

him. Sneaky. 

10/07/2016, 17:35:46: +44 7977 507079: What annoys me is that he never thanks his wife. I'd be 

screwing if I was Kim. 

10/07/2016, 18:45:58: Josephine Goetlee: Maybe, he should have thanked her, but he might have 

broken down....Alex just reckons she's happy now they're £2m better off! 

10/07/2016, 18:48:05: Jacqui Daniels Mum: I read that he needs to make £900k pa just to pay his 

staff. He needs some wins to pay that. 

10/07/2016, 19:07:01: +44 7977 507079: He has got mega staff tho. I'd like Lendall on my team. 

10/07/2016, 19:21:14: Fitzgerald Ruth: He's no public speaker that's for sure. 

10/07/2016, 19:57:11: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Allez Les Bleus! 

10/07/2016, 20:05:22: +44 7977 507079: Bien Sur! 

10/07/2016, 20:10:51: Gisele Della Bella: It will make my weekend to see Ronaldo's sad face 

10/07/2016, 20:20:24: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Advantage France 

10/07/2016, 20:20:57: +44 7977 507079: Ronaldo is such a baby

10/07/2016, 20:22:11: Jacqui Daniels Mum: He is back on. After all those tears.

10/07/2016, 20:24:49: Kate Groves: You meanies 

10/07/2016, 20:26:01: +44 7977 507079: Woah he is really sad 

10/07/2016, 20:26:08: Gisele Della Bella: That is it France will destroy them now 

10/07/2016, 20:26:55: Kate Groves: But the hair on the guy who came in for Ronaldo. What was 

that?

10/07/2016, 20:51:37: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Love Thierry. Bit of a rubbish pundit through but I just 

turn the sound down. 

10/07/2016, 20:53:27: +44 7977 507079: I'm watching You've Got Mail now 

10/07/2016, 20:53:43: +44 7977 507079: Can't beat a bit of Meg and Tom 

10/07/2016, 20:54:30: Fitzgerald Ruth: Wot about les mis? 

10/07/2016, 20:55:09: Jacqui Daniels Mum: I have a live concert going on in the garden - Wireless 

festival in Finsbury Park. 

10/07/2016, 20:55:17: +44 7977 507079: Russel Crowe singing? Nah mate 

10/07/2016, 20:56:24: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Russell Crowe is singing? 

10/07/2016, 20:57:19: Jacqui Daniels Mum: All I can hear is a fairly loud crowd and music I don't 

recognise. 

10/07/2016, 20:58:29: Fitzgerald Ruth: It is diabolical! Anne Hathaway is awesome and that's it. 

Taking Fleur to the stage show in Aug. Very excited. I love a stage musical. 

10/07/2016, 21:04:16: Jacqui Daniels Mum: You mean Russell in Les Mis, not at the Wireless 

festival... 

10/07/2016, 21:04:38: Jacqui Daniels Mum: I was very confused. 

10/07/2016, 21:10:38: Kate Groves: I can hear it from my house must be mega loud for you. 

10/07/2016, 21:11:35: Fitzgerald Ruth: Oh is he at wireless?? Funny coincidence 

10/07/2016, 21:12:29: Jacqui Daniels Mum: It's really loud!! 

10/07/2016, 21:12:37: Kate Groves: Not Russell Crowe

10/07/2016, 21:18:40: Kate Groves: I think it's mostly grime today at FP, not dad rock. Keep me 

posted on the football. Watching the revenant (fell asleep last night with an hour to go). 

10/07/2016, 21:25:58: +44 7977 507079:

10/07/2016, 21:49:23: +44 7977 507079: He'll be up for it. 

10/07/2016, 21:49:46: Sarah Burns: He can make homemade pizza

10/07/2016, 22:20:58: +44 7977 507079: Oh no. Is that it then? 

10/07/2016, 22:21:41: Jacqui Daniels Mum: A few more minutes but it isn't looking good for France 

10/07/2016, 22:21:57: +44 7977 507079: FFS 

10/07/2016, 22:23:46: Jacqui Daniels Mum: FFS indeed. Portugal came third in their group. How is 

this happening? 

10/07/2016, 22:24:12: Fitzgerald Ruth: Ask Nigel. 

10/07/2016, 22:24:19: +44 7977 507079: Oh Ronaldo is going be so smug 

10/07/2016, 22:24:28: +44 7977 507079: Smuggy smug face 

10/07/2016, 22:32:47: Jacqui Daniels Mum: FFS!! 

10/07/2016, 22:32:56: Gisele Della Bella: That is it what else an happen in 2016???? 

10/07/2016, 22:35:15: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Ronaldo has his shirt off again. How surprising. But not 

entirely unpleasant. 

10/07/2016, 22:37:56: Gisele Della Bella: True .. He loves himself ... At least something good he got 

to show off ... 

10/07/2016, 22:38:26: Gisele Della Bella: 2016-07-10-VIDEO-00002111.mp4 

10/07/2016, 22:38:41: Gisele Della Bella: There will be lots of soar heads in Brazil tomorrow ... 

11/07/2016, 09:01:31: Gisele Della Bella: Hi all 

This afternoon by 3:30 I will laminate some porters could you pop in the office and collect a coupe to 

hang up on your street / away to school ?! Thanks 

11/07/2016, 12:22:13: Gisele Della Bella: Hi does anyone recommend a kitchen unit fitter? Thanks 


11/07/2016, 14:35:13: Kate Groves: Great picture isn't it. We might buy it. Bastard man. 

11/07/2016, 14:36:32: Fitzgerald Ruth: It's too ugly and scary to have a reminder. It should go on 

the walls of Westminster. 

291

11/07/2016, 15:21:56: Gisele Della Bella: Hello there are lots of fair posters in the office - I also 

left cable tyres things so please could you pick up a couple to hang them up around your house thank 

you x 

11/07/2016, 15:26:40: Gisele Della Bella: Not in the house off course but in the street silly me !! 

You know what I mean ... 

11/07/2016, 20:40:35: De Lucy: Thx Gisele 

11/07/2016, 20:56:22: Kate Groves: I'll pick some up in the morning xx 

11/07/2016, 21:06:18: Fitzgerald Ruth: Am selling raffle tix in the morning then handing it over to 

the year 5 mums for the rest of the week. Deserters pay back! Anyone else printing tix? 

11/07/2016, 21:07:37: Jacqui Daniels Mum: I can help tomorrow if you like. 

11/07/2016, 21:07:53: Sarah Burns: I've got some. And Zoe is printing. Do you have a box for the 

stubs? Which mums are you giving them to? We need sales in both playgrounds. 

11/07/2016, 21:13:52: Fitzgerald Ruth: Oh shit a box. Don't have one. Will see what I've got for 

an interim. Do we have one in the cupboard? 

11/07/2016, 21:15:18: Sarah Burns: I've got plenty, can you find something for the interim please 

and I'll get a bigger one. Are you ok to start a float, too, just to get started? Do you have a box 

for money? 

11/07/2016, 21:15:21: Fitzgerald Ruth: Ally and Claire said they'd do it. 

11/07/2016, 21:15:58: Sarah Burns: Great. They can make up for their camping trip in raffle sales

11/07/2016, 21:20:57: Sarah Burns: Yes I'm sure that's fine. I have the PTA stash so can bring 

more if need be. 

11/07/2016, 21:21:21: Sarah Burns: Someone will rock up with a twenty and buy one 50p ticket

12/07/2016, 17:47:39: Sarah Burns: Ha ha yes, then he can manage Axelle. 

12/07/2016, 17:54:42: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Can you imagine the agendas then? They are Axelle 

dominated now.... 

12/07/2016, 18:21:13: Sarah Burns: Do you know anything about copyright law? 

12/07/2016, 18:44:59: Kate Groves: With regards to what? You haven't got a year 6 patent suing 

you got using their kids blog?? 

12/07/2016, 18:45:09: Kate Groves: Parent not patent 

12/07/2016, 18:46:43: Sarah Burns: Ha ha no, but the dog photographer is using Mabel for all her 

advertising- I know she owns copyright for the image but she doesn't have a release for Mabel. 

12/07/2016, 18:47:31: Sarah Burns: There was also a Nectar competition and Mabel was the poster 

girl. 

12/07/2016, 18:48:50: Kate Groves: That's a permission based thing. Like you say a release form 

should have signed or at least been part of the terms of the comp. 

12/07/2016, 18:50:00: Sarah Burns: I don't know if I should say anything? Personally I'm okay with 

it especially as it's a prize but Peter the world's most relaxed man is actually not that pleased. 

12/07/2016, 20:54:02: Fitzgerald Ruth: Have you asked Mabel what she thinks? 

12/07/2016, 20:56:31: Kate Groves: She'd eat them, camera and all. 

12/07/2016, 22:28:41: Sarah Burns: Mabel wants to charge 5 bones per hour. 

12/07/2016, 23:13:17: Josephine Goetlee: Are after school clubs still running next week? If no-one 

knows I shall check with the office tomorrow...Mr Pickett's not gonna be there on Monday, 

13/07/2016, 08:26:01: Gisele Della Bella: Hello 

Ruth so you know who got the raffle tickets ?!? 

I could sell them this morning or at pick up at 3:30 

13/07/2016, 08:26:49: Fitzgerald Ruth: The office should have them. Ally was giving everything back 

to the office. 

294

13/07/2016, 08:27:35: Gisele Della Bella: David said he felt really tighty and didn't think he was 

pretty embarrassed ahahaha 

so I will get an extra book .. Ok will look for it then 

13/07/2016, 08:36:08: Kate Groves: For what it's worth Ava thinks clubs finish this week...eek. 

13/07/2016, 08:39:01: Gisele Della Bella: I am quite sure there is not club next week but will ask too 

13/07/2016, 08:43:50: Gisele Della Bella: Sarah ate you going drop off? I got the bowling letter

13/07/2016, 08:44:48: Gisele Della Bella: Forget it .... All sorted 

13/07/2016, 08:51:34: Gisele Della Bella: Betty is not in the office and we couldn't find the money 

boxes so ally and I will sell tickets this afternoon then 

13/07/2016, 10:56:47: Susy Oscar Felix: I heard no clubs next week. I can have a kid or two (any 

day except Thurs) if anyone needs childcare x 

13/07/2016, 11:15:59: Jacqui Daniels Mum: We can also help out Mon - Thurs next week. 

13/07/2016, 11:28:31: Fitzgerald Ruth: I can help out Monday. 

13/07/2016, 11:30:50: Fitzgerald Ruth: Jacqui would you be up for having Rids on Thursday? I could 

have Daniel on Monday? 

13/07/2016, 12:18:45: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Sure, I can have Rids on Thurs. Daniel would love to 

come to you Mon, thanks. 

13/07/2016, 12:36:25: Sarah Burns: Important announcement: I did not provide spelling for the 

Shacklewell text. I repeat, did not. 

13/07/2016, 12:41:53: Jacqui Daniels Mum: I did wonder! 

13/07/2016, 13:00:28: Gisele Della Bella: ?!! Which announcement ?! 

13/07/2016, 14:26:03: Fitzgerald Ruth: Well I think you ought to bare it in mind for future fayre 

texts. 

13/07/2016, 14:35:46: Sarah Burns: Does anyone have any objections to someone doing a sweet stall 

at the fair? A non-parent wants to run a sweet stall (all of which are halal). 

13/07/2016, 14:36:23: Kate Groves: I love

13/07/2016, 14:53:57: Sarah Burns: Yes I'm going to send one tomorrow. Debbie's helping though

13/07/2016, 19:08:22: +44 7977 507079: She's pretty testy these days Sarah 

13/07/2016, 19:19:21: Sarah Burns: Oh Chloe she was so fabulous. Showing me her gold shoes, 

flicking her hair. I loved it

13/07/2016, 21:32:47: Sarah Burns: I have some more tickets and I will bring them in the morning. 

We need to ace raffle sales as this is where we make the bulk of our money. I will text ally now and 

ask where the money is. 

14/07/2016, 08:23:54: Gisele Della Bella: Hi guys sorry stuck with two children refusing to ger out 

bed is unlikely I will make to the sale this morning 

14/07/2016, 08:25:35: Fitzgerald Ruth: I think ally and Clare et al are up for selling. They said 

they'd sort it. Will double check. 

14/07/2016, 08:26:41: Gisele Della Bella: Thanks 

14/07/2016, 09:51:33: Fitzgerald Ruth: This whole boris debacle has actually made me tearful again. 

I'm so mortified and so embarrassed. We're asking an anti diplomatic bare faced liar to act on our 

behalf in foreign affairs? He has proven inability. I stunned. 

14/07/2016, 09:55:12: Kate Groves: She couldn't have made a worse choice. I don't understand her 

thinking at all. 

14/07/2016, 09:56:19: Sarah Burns: Just reading a featured the guardian about the world's reaction 

to this post. Incredulous is the general sentiment. We are global laughing stock. 

14/07/2016, 09:58:35: Kate Groves: I've just read it. It's embarrassing. 

14/07/2016, 09:59:00: Sarah Burns: It would be Hilario if it wasn't about us. 

14/07/2016, 10:03:58: Sarah Burns: Can anyone swing past MC motors today please? 

14/07/2016, 10:04:13: Fitzgerald Ruth: There's been anger and fear around the world too. If Mays 

thinking that she can not be accountable for any further damage? If Boris fucked it up he needs to 

sort it out?? 

14/07/2016, 10:12:01: Sarah Burns: She looks like a fool. 

14/07/2016, 10:12:09: +44 7977 507079: So many dodgy deals going on. 

14/07/2016, 10:43:42: Sarah Burns: Gove and Morgan out. Teachers should be pleased. All her trade 

people seem to be leave campaigners. Liam fox shit face. 

14/07/2016, 10:51:21: +44 7977 507079: SEE YOU LATER GOVE 

300

14/07/2016, 11:17:27: Jacqui Daniels Mum: She did a deal to get support for her nomination and 

Boris getting the job is the pay back. 

14/07/2016, 11:18:36: Jacqui Daniels Mum: And it appeases the 52% that thought Boris would be 

the next PM. 

14/07/2016, 11:21:54: Sarah Burns: But couldn't she have given him a different job?! 

14/07/2016, 11:23:33: Jacqui Daniels Mum: I am sure that job was the deal. It stinks. 

14/07/2016, 11:48:25: Fitzgerald Ruth: Am watching Dave's last PM qu's. That guy who suggested 

he apply for the top gear role.. Oh one big joke. 

I do like Daves attitude tho and wish he was staying. I can't see May ever being accessible. Everyone 

cheering him on. He did some good stuff right?equal rights, gay marriage. And some shit stuff. 

Then one of the shittiest things ever. 

14/07/2016, 13:14:27: Sarah Burns: Mr Pickett is really something else. Anyway, kids performing at 

summer fair which I think will be really nice even if he is a disaster of organisation. 

14/07/2016, 13:18:20: Fitzgerald Ruth: Here he is in Desmond's http://showbizgeek.com/wpcontent/uploads/2015/01/Screen-Shot-2015-01-31-at-21.33.27.png. 

14/07/2016, 21:20:27: Sarah Burns: Ruth - are you there? 

14/07/2016, 21:24:42: Fitzgerald Ruth: Where? 

14/07/2016, 21:26:01: Sarah Burns: Here. 

14/07/2016, 21:27:12: Fitzgerald Ruth: No sorry. I'm here (or 'over there' to you). 

14/07/2016, 21:27:34: Sarah Burns: I have either pint cups or normal sized cups. I assume a pint of 

rum punch might have serious consequences. 

Can we charge £1.50 for a small rum punch and £1.50 for a pint of exotic carnival juice? 

14/07/2016, 21:27:40: De Lucy: What's the plan for drinks stall ? Am I doing alcohol or straight 

juices? 

14/07/2016, 21:27:52: Sarah Burns: Both lucy. 

14/07/2016, 21:28:08: Sarah Burns: And kids ice drinks. 

301

14/07/2016, 21:30:22: Kate Groves: Catching up. Is that really Mr Pickett? I used to love 

Desmond's. Can't we charge £2 for a small boozy beverage? Can anyone print my treasure hunt stuff 

out? I asked Chris but I think he has forgotten. 

14/07/2016, 21:30:34: Fitzgerald Ruth: Yes to your msg re prices SB. Lucy, last year we ran mock 

and cock tails from the same stall it seemed to work. I'm there for set up and until 1pm. Think 

you've got a couple of helpers. 

Punch wise, the cut fruit will be prepped in advance and steeped and the punch mixed first thing. It'll 

just mean adding more fruit and more mix as you go along. 

14/07/2016, 21:31:28: Sarah Burns: Ok roger that on pricing Ruth. 

14/07/2016, 21:31:36: Fitzgerald Ruth: I agree with £2. 

I can't print as not in work tomo. 

Yes Mr P was the son in Desmond's. 

14/07/2016, 21:32:57: Sarah Burns: Ok so £2 for small cup of rum 

Punch. It's very small. £1.50 for giant juice. 

14/07/2016, 21:33:14: Fitzgerald Ruth: Ally is sorting the mocktail recipe and juice purchase. 

I have a flipping summer cold. Bloody Britain is not doing us proud on any level this year. 

14/07/2016, 21:33:49: Fitzgerald Ruth: Too small? There'll be ice and fruit. Should I buy more 

cups? Cheap. 

14/07/2016, 21:34:28: Sophie Connies Mum: Can you believe I was at training with Mr Heath 

today

14/07/2016, 21:37:42: Sarah Burns: Ruth - I have 400 small cups. 100 pint size. Need to split 

between juices, rum and kids cones. I don't mind how we do it, I just need to decide tonight so I can 

design the sign for jo to print tomorrow. Happy with small for rum? Or pint glass

14/07/2016, 21:44:11: Sarah Burns: Are you kidding? 

14/07/2016, 21:44:15: Fitzgerald Ruth: Hence him taking over PC. 

14/07/2016, 21:45:19: Sarah Burns: Do you need nice shoes to be spa chair? Is that in the 

constitution? 

14/07/2016, 21:45:57: Fitzgerald Ruth: It was a tenuous kitten heel May link. Also tipsy. 

14/07/2016, 21:46:28: De Lucy: Sensible shoes for stomping around recruiting volunteers are surely 

necessary . Though wedge Birkenstocks always go down well with me sarah b 

14/07/2016, 21:46:52: Fitzgerald Ruth: Actually seriously re SPA we do need to badger the right 

person. The new reception peeps will be too late. 

Is there anyone who's game? 

14/07/2016, 21:47:54: +44 7977 507079: You do have really nice shoes Sarah 

14/07/2016, 21:48:43: Sarah Burns: I asked Ping. She's brilliantly creative, and finance savvy. She 

said she'd do it year after next, but now looks as if she's leaving the country. 

14/07/2016, 21:48:43: +44 7977 507079: Not that I'm looking at your shoes during SPA meetings 

14/07/2016, 21:49:03: Fitzgerald Ruth: And clothes. You and Nicole are the school style icons. 

14/07/2016, 21:49:05: De Lucy: Is she leaving ASAP? 

14/07/2016, 21:50:12: Sarah Burns: I've never seen Nicole repeat an outfit. She's like the Patricia 

Field of Shacklewell. 

14/07/2016, 21:50:14: Fitzgerald Ruth: So Ping for September then! Let's badger. Someone has to 

do it. I'm going to work on Ping. 

14/07/2016, 21:50:37: Fitzgerald Ruth: I have to google Patricia Field. 


14/07/2016, 21:50:50: De Lucy: Sexinthecity 

14/07/2016, 21:51:07: Sarah Burns: She never repeated an outfit. Not once. 

14/07/2016, 21:51:13: Fitzgerald Ruth:

14/07/2016, 21:51:18: Kate Groves: You're right not once. 

14/07/2016, 21:51:36: +44 7977 507079: Are the hearts for Ronaldo or Nicole? 

14/07/2016, 21:52:07: Sarah Burns: Right back to Ping. She would be excellent. Alfred is very young 

though and she didn't feel she could be chair. Perhaps she could co-chair? 

14/07/2016, 21:52:17: Fitzgerald Ruth: Ronaldo and you. 

14/07/2016, 21:52:22: Sarah Burns: With someone that is NOT me. 

14/07/2016, 21:52:23: +44 7977 507079: Yessssssssss 

14/07/2016, 21:52:32: +44 7977 507079: Not yes for chair bye 

14/07/2016, 21:52:50: +44 7977 507079: Sorry not bye I am also a bit tipsy 

14/07/2016, 21:52:58: Fitzgerald Ruth: Riddy was young and Fleur in year 1 when I did it. 

14/07/2016, 21:53:04: Sarah Burns: Am I the sober one on the chat? 

14/07/2016, 21:53:07: +44 7977 507079: Ping and Naomi 

14/07/2016, 21:53:14: Kate Groves: I'm not tipsy. I'm always usually tipsy. 

14/07/2016, 21:53:19: De Lucy: Why are you lot drinking and I am writing letters about moles 

14/07/2016, 21:53:29: Sarah Burns: I'd rather disband spa than hand it over to Naomi. 

14/07/2016, 21:53:29: +44 7977 507079: I'm in Peckham 

14/07/2016, 21:53:38: +44 7977 507079: Drunk in Peckham 

14/07/2016, 21:53:44: +44 7977 507079: Oh shit 

14/07/2016, 21:53:55: Fitzgerald Ruth: What you doin in Peckham? 

14/07/2016, 21:54:00: De Lucy: Jammy dodger 

14/07/2016, 21:54:10: +44 7977 507079: Having a sibling dinner. Was v nice 

14/07/2016, 21:54:18: +44 7977 507079: Had some Negronis.

14/07/2016, 21:54:24: Kate Groves: In Peckham though? 

14/07/2016, 21:54:29: +44 7977 507079: *lots 

14/07/2016, 21:54:35: Sarah Burns: You're eating your siblings? You must be really pissed. 

14/07/2016, 21:54:49: Kate Groves: Wasn't Del Boy from Peckham 

14/07/2016, 21:55:16: +44 7977 507079: All my siblings live in south London. I'm the black sheep in 

east London. Didn't see Del Boy tonight Kate 

14/07/2016, 21:56:22: Fitzgerald Ruth: How about Ping finds her own co chair. And we all do that 

thing where we say "oh I'll help you out I'll do anything you like, treat me as your deputy" like all my 

year said to me, and Ally even said she'd co chair! 

We pretend. Then we run and hide. 

14/07/2016, 21:57:15: Fitzgerald Ruth: Delboy got rich and moved out innit. 

14/07/2016, 21:57:29: Sarah Burns: Someone from the new intake can co-chair. Although I don't 

think ping will go for it. 

14/07/2016, 21:57:55: Jacqui Daniels Mum: Debs. Let's get her to co-chair. 

14/07/2016, 21:59:06: +44 7977 507079: YES Debs and Ping. 

14/07/2016, 22:01:11: Fitzgerald Ruth: Gossip: The chair of Colvestone pta can't get a replacement 

but nobody wants the current chair to stand again and when she said "look I really don't mind doing 

another year" everyone bellowed "No!! No you can't do another year"! 

Including the Head. Nobody likes her chairship but still nobody is standing. 

14/07/2016, 22:02:22: Fitzgerald Ruth: Chloe - give Georgia a kiss from me

14/07/2016, 22:09:16: Fitzgerald Ruth: Back to our Chair, nobody can bear to see you leave. Too 

bloody brilliant to take over from. For Ping to have your endorsement makes me pleased tho (I don't 

really know her) so I'm 100% behind forcing her into it! 

14/07/2016, 22:09:39: Fitzgerald Ruth: Why have a 6 pack when you can have a barrel? 

14/07/2016, 22:10:02: Kate Groves:

15/07/2016, 16:18:43: Sarah Burns: Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Alia sent me a list of items she'd secured. 

One being iPad mini. It is in fact an iPod nano. We've miss sold raffle tickets. 

15/07/2016, 16:19:58: Sarah Burns: I have 5 kindles. 5!. Perhaps first prize is kindle paper white 

and iPod nano. That's worth about £200. 

15/07/2016, 16:51:13: Fitzgerald Ruth: iPod nano is pretty cool too though no? 

15/07/2016, 16:54:41: Sarah Burns: Yes but people have bought tickets based on it being an iPad 

mini. It's a big difference. 

15/07/2016, 16:59:00: Sarah Burns: Gene 3S 

15/07/2016, 17:02:24: Fitzgerald Ruth: If it was me I'd leave it as a nano, but I'm not in the 

prizes industry.. As you've got so many kindles it would be prob best to offer one of those too then I 

guess. 

15/07/2016, 17:02:34: Fitzgerald Ruth: Riddy 3w. 

15/07/2016, 17:04:46: Sarah Burns: Was Ice/fruit crisis resolved? 

15/07/2016, 17:09:19: Fitzgerald Ruth: Nope. No ice anywhere. Alia spoke to Olly (?) and he was 

vague. I checked every freezer. Going to get someone to pick it up in the morning. 

15/07/2016, 17:10:34: Sarah Burns: Great thanks. Good job you checked. Thanks 

15/07/2016, 17:11:05: Fitzgerald Ruth: Did you pay for it? 

15/07/2016, 17:11:35: Sarah Burns: The ice? Not yet no. 

15/07/2016, 17:11:39: Fitzgerald Ruth: Ally and I spent £37. 

15/07/2016, 17:13:36: Sarah Burns: Whatever you need to spend on ice, spend. 

15/07/2016, 17:16:55: +44 7977 507079: Theo 3s- no Rids again!!! 

15/07/2016, 17:17:51: Sophie Connies Mum: Ahhh I've been out all day don't know where Connie is 

the suspense is killing me! 

15/07/2016, 17:37:24: De Lucy: Connie is hanging on the death slide at swapa! Only kidding 

15/07/2016, 17:37:42: De Lucy: She knows she is not allowed 

308

15/07/2016, 17:47:25: Sophie Connies Mum: Ha she loves that playground 

15/07/2016, 17:47:55: De Lucy: Matthew looked quite pale! 

15/07/2016, 18:56:54: Sophie Connies Mum: Connie's in 3w with Miss Pillay the new teacher which 

are Martha and Patrick Jo? 

15/07/2016, 19:13:18: Sarah Burns: Next Friday when school finishes are we doing the usual hackney 

downs thing? 

15/07/2016, 19:13:44: +44 7977 507079: Does anyone know what Ms Camlin is like? 

15/07/2016, 19:13:50: +44 7977 507079: Hope she's strict 

15/07/2016, 19:14:00: +44 7977 507079: With a GSOH 

15/07/2016, 19:14:28: +44 7977 507079: I won't be around next Friday. I'll be in crete. Without 

my kids. Have I mentioned that yet? 

15/07/2016, 19:18:19: Kate Groves: Miss Hansen told me she's great. Ava pleased about Connie. 

Belle is in 3W too. 

15/07/2016, 19:18:49: Kate Groves: Crete Chloe, you haven't mentioned it...

15/07/2016, 19:38:05: +44 7977 507079: 'To take our minds off the wedding'

15/07/2016, 20:46:45: Fitzgerald Ruth: Riddy told Charlie he can get him a girlfriend. Apparently 

"you just need to be nice to them". 


15/07/2016, 21:21:40: Sarah Burns:

16/07/2016, 08:14:46: Sarah Burns: I have 2 bags here. I've got lots of good toys cosmetics and 

even new converse boots. 

16/07/2016, 08:15:32: Fitzgerald Ruth: Yey! 

16/07/2016, 08:15:52: Sarah Burns: And there's also stuff in the cupboard. 

16/07/2016, 08:19:34: Fitzgerald Ruth: I've got load of stuff too, jam and pesto and crisps, the 

most random stuff possible. 

16/07/2016, 08:19:56: Sarah Burns: Great.

me! X 

16/07/2016, 12:40:50: Gisele Della Bella: Noooo save half of it for me on Monday x 

16/07/2016, 17:07:58: Fitzgerald Ruth: How did the rest of it go?? Are you all alive? 

We're heading back to Dalston for street feast dinner if anyone's game? Xxx 

16/07/2016, 17:10:53: Sarah Burns: Ooh love Street feast! Just ordered pizza, kids are knackered. 

Went really well, nice vibe, lovely weather. Your drink girls did a great job! Thanks for setting it all 

up X 

16/07/2016, 17:14:38: Sarah Burns: On the down side, I might have lost the spa cheque book with 7 

signed blank cheques. Missing one signatory though. 

16/07/2016, 17:57:43: Fitzgerald Ruth: Cancel them? Am sure nobody would do anything with them. 

Your last summer fair!! Are you celebrating? 

16/07/2016, 17:58:29: Sarah Burns: I've had a can of Coke. I'm counting the money. 

16/07/2016, 17:59:24: Sarah Burns: What was the £100 you gave Kate yesterday? 

16/07/2016, 18:11:46: Fitzgerald Ruth: It came from Alia. I was under the impression it was from 

your supplier but she didn't tell me that. 

16/07/2016, 18:14:24: Sarah Burns: Yes it's from them. And you took £40 from the raffle for drink 

stuff. Are you owed more? 

16/07/2016, 18:16:48: Fitzgerald Ruth: No and just remembered I owe £3 change. I've got the 

receipts for you too. 

16/07/2016, 18:25:31: Fitzgerald Ruth: How did the punch go down later on? 

16/07/2016, 18:32:00: Sarah Burns: The drink stall ran out of everything. It was a massive success! 

Tasmin seemed to love doing it and she had loads in common with Catherine. 

16/07/2016, 18:33:12: Fitzgerald Ruth: Fab. They ran out of rum then? That's shit loads of drinks! 

Woohoo. 

328

16/07/2016, 18:33:59: Sarah Burns: Ah not quite. We found 3 bottles in the community room. But 

they ran out of everything on the stall. I've counted £175 in notes already :-) 

16/07/2016, 19:09:46: Fitzgerald Ruth: I've just spent that amount at street feast. 

16/07/2016, 19:44:30: Sarah Burns: Susy/Sophie - how much are you owed for face painting 

equipment? 

16/07/2016, 20:45:22: Sarah Burns: Mega mums. You are all mega - we raised £3024 inc castles 

boards. Thanks everyone! 

16/07/2016, 20:48:19: Fitzgerald Ruth: Mega Chair! Woohoo! 

16/07/2016, 20:49:43: De Lucy: Well done 

Chair! 

16/07/2016, 20:50:12: Sarah Burns: No. Massive team effort. 

16/07/2016, 20:50:42: Fitzgerald Ruth: Who won the top raffle prize? Were they happy with the 

mis-selling? 

16/07/2016, 20:55:10: Sarah Burns: Kelly Milton - Ryan's aunty. She got a mini iPad. We sorted it. 

16/07/2016, 20:56:40: Fitzgerald Ruth: Wow good work sorting it! 

16/07/2016, 21:00:02: Sarah Burns: Jacqui sorted it in fact. 

16/07/2016, 21:00:22: Fitzgerald Ruth: What a dream team. 

16/07/2016, 21:10:44: +44 7977 507079: Amazing! You are all brilliant.

16/07/2016, 21:36:06: Fitzgerald Ruth: Cuff links! That's hilarious. "What do I do with these 

mummy?". 

16/07/2016, 22:18:44: Josephine Goetlee: Great day, great vibe...kids loved it!! 

16/07/2016, 22:31:19: Sophie Connies Mum: I think I spent about a fiver on brushes, sponges and 

mirrors Susy must have spent more on the face paints. 

16/07/2016, 22:39:35: Sarah Burns: Will reimburse you Sophie. Also I had no idea Connie's surname 

was King. She came to collect her raffle prize and I told her it was for a different Connie. She 

thought I was a total idiot. But she was very polite about it.
